For many people 'enlightenment' is a concept which is very much mixed up with religious concepts of superiority of certain people. Osho addresses some of these misunderstandings and shares his unique insights.
Excerpt form an interview with Osho, by Italian magazine 'The Pleasures'.
The question asked is: Could enlightenment be the definition of the topmost pleasure?
"It is not pleasure. Pleasure is always something opposed to pain; it is never separate from pain. So pain can become pleasure, that's why there are masochists in the world who torture themselves and enjoy. Your so-called saints are nothing but people who know the art of changing pain into pleasure."
