What is the reason that the siddhas Saraha and Tilopa are not recognized in their land of birth?

definition
"In a culture suffocated by tradition, the living truth often goes unrecognized, for it threatens the very foundations upon which the old order stands."
According to Osho, Saraha and Tilopa go unrecognized at home because a centuries-old burden of punditry smothers living truth: armies of scholars with vested interests drown out the fresh, heart-born voice that undermines their logic, scriptures, and livelihoods. In such a stale, blind culture, sects unite to suppress the new; thus these siddhas are honored abroad but resisted where they were born.
Too many book-smart gatekeepers protect their turf, so they silence fresh, living wisdom—making saints valued abroad but ignored at home.
