Core Insight:
According to Osho, prosperity and freedom don’t bring joy when the psyche is conditioned by centuries of sadism and masochism. Religion has sanctified suffering, so even the wealthy cling to self-torture or to making others suffer, turning misery into a virtue. Thus, people squander free time and resources instead of growing in awareness. Happiness arises only by creating a third way: playful, creative, meditative consciousness beyond torture.
