Life is a dream.

As far as I can tell, all this teaching stems from the same old, vile, and completely incorrect idea that "man is created for happiness as a bird is created for flight." Osho promises some vague miracles that no one even asks for. People need to believe in the correctness of their thoughts and actions. Animals are content with food and mates. "Miracles" are not needed by anyone, and those who do need them will believe in them themselves and be satisfied.
All civilization, all progress, is built on desires. Without the eternal feeling of dissatisfaction, we would have remained at the level of primitive people, contemplating mammoth dung. Food is available, a mate is nearby, there is a roof over your head – basic needs are met. Why desire, why suffer?
And life is suffering by default, which is why this "axiom" about happiness is absurd, and therefore any ideology derived from it. And life is indeed meaningless and empty, but anyone who complains about it seriously is a pathetic brat, incapable of accepting the fact and drawing a conclusion, incapable even of believing in some comforting lie about the afterlife. One should not complain about life because everyone is afraid of death, no matter what they say. All philosophy, any religion, originates from the banal fear of death. This same fear of death gives rise to the desire to grab as much as possible while one can. Everything is normal, but absolute happiness does not exist. But everyone is free to invent and find relative happiness.
Osho wants to bring people down to some animal level of thoughtlessness and inaction in order to achieve "happiness." This is a normal idea for bipedal livestock, in general, the main thing is that they continue to go to work. After all, the average animal primarily desires peace, and such an ideology is quite capable of providing it to those who can believe in such nonsense.
