Idiocy

Q: What is the nature of idiocy?

According to Osho, idiocy is not a defect but the natural state of the unenlightened mind: unconscious, borrowed, mechanical, ruled by ego and fear. There are only two kinds of people—awake or asleep. Idiocy is sleep: living by secondhand ideas, reacting rather than seeing. Intelligence flowers when awareness dawns.

Idiocy

Osho illuminates that idiocy is not a flaw but rather the inherent condition of an unenlightened mind, trapped in the sleep of borrowed thoughts and ego-driven fears, while true intelligence blossoms with the awakening of genuine awareness.
