Why are there so few people at Osho's gatherings compared to others?

"The right path rarely attracts crowds; true seekers are those willing to shed their ego and embrace their vulnerability, for it is in their strengthlessness that the Divine can truly support them."
According to Osho, the small numbers are deliberate: he ended the ‘fairground’ of thousands and created doors-within-doors so only those hungry for inner revolution can reach him. Crowds, he says, signal falsity and egoic power-hunger; the right rarely gathers multitudes. He prefers seekers ready to drop props—status, opinions, herd-support—so that, in their very strengthlessness, the Divine support can meet them.
Because Osho avoids showy crowds and welcomes only a few who truly want to change, not be entertained.
