Why is it difficult to bow before truth and easy to bow before lies?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Truth demands your surrender, while lies flatter your ego; it is in the light of truth that we confront our blindness."
According to Osho, it’s hard to bow before truth because truth demands your surrender—ego must dissolve and real transformation begins. It’s easy with lies because lies bow to you: they flatter, serve, and require nothing. Like darkness comforting the blind, untruth hides its hollowness with praise and scripture, while truth’s light exposes blindness, provoking resistance.
Why this matters practically
- Spot flattery and choose what challenges you to grow.
- Practice humility to reduce ego-driven conflict and suffering.
- Seek the discomfort of clarity for real transformation.
