Synthesized from Source
definition
"The commune is extraordinary not because of a leader's divine status, but because it embraces the authenticity and responsibility of ordinary individuals daring to be themselves."
According to Osho, his commune is anything but ordinary; it is extraordinary precisely because it forms around an utterly ordinary person with no divine status or special claims. This unprecedented experiment requires courage and maturity, since he offers no consoling fantasies, hopes, or promises. The commune’s extraordinariness lies in its authenticity and responsibility, not in a leader’s exalted image.
No; it’s special because it follows a normal man who refuses to play guru or sell dreams.
