Ask Osho!

Why has the world always been in chaos and disorder if nature abhors disorder?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"The world is a cosmos, not chaos; it is the human mind that creates turbulence, mistaking inner disorder for outer chaos. To find order, you must transcend the mind and embrace the present moment."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the world is a cosmos, not chaos; only the human mind is disordered. Mind is a transitional bridge between nature and supernature, so the in-between is inherently turbulent. Mistaking this inner turbulence for outer disorder, we think the world is chaotic. You cannot 'order' the mind; you must cross it—stop clinging to the past and move ahead into awareness.
The world isn’t messy—your mind is, because you’re between what you were and what you’re becoming; don’t try to tidy the bridge, just walk across it.
Why this matters practically
- Stops projecting inner chaos onto the world, easing anxiety.
- Redirects effort from controlling life to crossing the mind through awareness.
- Encourages dropping regressive habits and moving forward with courage.
