Are all other gurus opposed to each other?

definition
"True masters are not opposed to one another; they resonate with the same essence, each expressing it through their unique voice. It is the pseudo-gurus who exploit seekers, while authentic masters challenge falsity to safeguard the integrity of awakening."
According to Osho, true masters are never opposed to one another; they echo the same essence through different voices. His criticism targets only the pseudo—pretenders exploiting seekers’ desperation—not authentic gurus like Buddha, Jesus, Lao Tzu, etc., whom he reveres. Every real master challenges falsity, as Jesus opposed rabbis and Buddha opposed brahmins—not to fight peers, but to protect the integrity of awakening.
Real teachers are on the same team; they only call out fakes so people don’t get misled.
