What explains the scarcity of disciples in France?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"It is not the indifference of the French people that limits discipleship, but the barriers that prevent my presence; when I am allowed to be, the hearts will open."
According to Osho, the scarcity of disciples in France is not due to French people’s indifference but to governmental barriers that block his entry. He insists his living presence quickly ignites discipleship; if the French government allowed him in, he would attract thousands before being expelled. Thus, limited access—not lack of receptivity—explains the few disciples.
There are few disciples in France because the government won’t let Osho come; if he could visit, many would join quickly.
