According to Osho, emphasis on dress (like orange robes) is a psychotherapeutic device, not a spiritual requirement. Changing clothes, names, and rhythms disrupts old mental patterns, reshapes identity, and creates a fresh starting point. Uniforms affect behavior; looser garments soothe, tighter ones excite. Such external shifts help beginners recondition the mind; once truly spiritual, no outward change is necessary.
Wearing new clothes (like orange) helps your mind feel different so you can start fresh, but the clothes aren’t the goal.
