Do priests know nothing at all about God?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Priests may know much about human weaknesses, but true knowledge of the divine transcends exploitation and fear; it awakens personal responsibility and liberates the spirit."
According to Osho, priests do know a great deal—but mainly about human weaknesses, not about God. Their knowledge becomes a tool to exploit the fearful and dependent. One who truly knows the divine cannot see anyone as weak and cannot exploit. Exploitation persists because we consent to it; awakening personal responsibility and inner experience ends the marketplace of spiritual manipulation.
Many priests know how to use people’s fears, not how to show God—so don’t be used; become aware and find truth within.
