Who is a Baul?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"A Baul is not a seeker but a Siddha, fully alive in the celebration of existence, embracing life’s mystery with song, dance, and innocent joy."
According to Osho, a Baul cannot be defined as a doctrine but felt as a mystique: one with no wish beyond being fully human and alive, in love with life, earth, and all that is. A Baul is a Siddha - no longer a seeker - already in paradise here-now, celebrating existence through song, dance, and innocent joy, participating in life’s mystery without chasing peace, purity, or perfection.
A Baul is someone who stops chasing perfect holiness or a faraway heaven and simply lives joyfully and wholeheartedly right now, singing and dancing with life.
