Will the world remain in a state of misunderstanding towards enlightened beings?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"As long as humanity remains asleep in its conditioning, the light of the enlightened will always be misunderstood and either crucified or co-opted."
According to Osho, the world habitually misunderstands enlightened beings; when not killing them outright, it neutralizes them more cunningly—honoring the person while poisoning the teaching (as with calling Buddha an avatar yet damning his followers). Societies and priestly powers protect themselves by crucifying or co‑opting. Unless individuals awaken beyond conditioning, this collective misunderstanding will continue.
People often hurt or fake‑honor the truly wise and twist their message; only your own awareness can see the truth.
Why this matters practically
- Spot flattery that hides a teaching’s real edge
- Choose direct experience over second‑hand beliefs
- Protect living insights from being domesticated by institutions
