According to Osho, calling men 'monkeys' is not an insult but a mirror: evolution links us, and in many ways monkeys are happier, stronger, innocent vegetarians who do not make wars. Humans wobble between falling below animals - sad, imitative, violent - or rising far beyond as Buddhas. The comparison punctures ego and invites a shift from mechanical imitation to conscious, celebrative living.
It means don’t feel insulted; see how we often copy and fight, and choose to grow wiser and happier instead.
