What is the relationship between the roles of a priest and a lawyer in mediating between man and higher principles?

definition
"Remove the middleman; trust your immediate being and seek a judge who hears you directly, for both priests and lawyers create unnecessary divisions between you and your truth."
According to Osho, priests and lawyers are parallel figures of unnecessary mediation: the priest inserts himself between you and existence (God), creating division and spiritual slavery; the lawyer inserts himself between people and justice, cloaking truth in jargon. Both convert living realities into systems and dependencies, obstructing direct experience and straightforward justice; remove the middleman—trust immediate being and an educated, fair judge hearing people directly.
Why this matters practically
- Rely on direct awareness and meditation instead of religious intermediaries.
- Favor plain truth and humane fairness over legal trickery and jargon.
- Reduce dependency on authorities who profit from confusion and fear.
