Ask Osho!

Why have saints portrayed life as sorrow, and is this pessimism justified?

Synthesized from Source definition

"To recognize suffering is not pessimism; it is the first step towards genuine transformation and the doorway to the divine."

Saints aren’t gloomy; they’re just telling the truth that life hurts until we find the divine, and pretending otherwise only tricks us.
Why this matters practically
- Helps drop polite denial so you can face real problems.
- Motivates seeking true resolution (inner awakening) instead of temporary comforts.
- Encourages honest self-inquiry and authentic communication.
