According to Osho, cultivating a moral character manufactures a false persona, splitting you from your real impulses and forcing repression. This breeds egoism, hypocrisy, inner conflict, and dangerous explosions of the very drives you pretend to deny. Such seriousness imprisons life’s playfulness. Authentic morality can’t be grafted on; it flowers naturally as a by-product—a shadow—of growing awareness and celebration of life.
Faking goodness makes you tense and two-faced; real goodness appears by itself when you become more aware.
