Why do some talks carry the smell of politics?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"You hear what your conditioning craves, projecting your inner assumptions onto words; to truly listen, drop your projections and return to awareness."
According to Osho, talks only smell of politics because that odor already lives in the listener. We hear what our conditioning craves and project our inner assumptions onto words. He sometimes mentions politics deliberately to reveal where attachment and prejudice hide. The invitation is to drop projections, trust the process, and return to meditation and awareness rather than reactive interpretation.
If you smell politics in a talk, it’s because your own mind is full of it—you notice what you already carry.
