definition
"Condemnation is not an act of hatred, but a call to awaken intelligence and courage, urging you to see beyond the false idols and embrace the truth of compassion and nonviolence."
According to Osho, condemnation is used to expose false ‘great men,’ puncture collective hypocrisy, and restore truth as the only touchstone. He refuses borrowed reverence, calling out violence and unworthiness even when tradition worships it. His denunciations provoke intelligence, courage, and discrimination, so seekers drop blind belief, examine idols by their actions, and align with genuine compassion and nonviolence.
He knocks down fake heroes so you stop following blindly and start choosing what’s truly kind and true.
