"The turmoil in the commune is not a lesson from fate, but a mirror reflecting our need for vigilance, responsibility, and awareness, lest we become what we oppose."
According to Osho, the commune’s turmoil wasn’t a fated “lesson” from some omniscient plan; the future is open, and freedom means nothing is predetermined. Under political pressure, unconscious lust for power surfaced—something that could happen to anyone. He is not omniscient; he trusted and withdrew. Treat the episode as a mirror: learn vigilance, responsibility, and awareness, so struggle doesn’t turn you into what you oppose.
It wasn’t homework from God; people got tempted by power under pressure, and we can use it to wake up and act more carefully.
Why this matters practically
- Choose consciously now; don’t hide behind fate.
- Watch your own pull toward power, especially in conflict.
- Build transparency and awareness so trust doesn’t slip into abuse.
