According to Osho, nudity powerfully dissolves social conditioning and supports inner ‘nakedness’—authenticity, innocence, and unfragmented life-energy. The present ban is not spiritual but practical: authorities refused venues if nudity were allowed, leaving only two days to arrange. To keep the camp for seekers, he chose the lesser evil—comply with legal norms while inviting inner nakedness even with clothes.
Being naked can help you be honest inside, but we banned it because the government wouldn’t let us use the place otherwise, so we’ll practice inner honesty even with clothes on.
