What could be the reason for a lack of interest in religion while being eager about politics?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Your eagerness for politics stems from a conditioned desire to feel special, while religion invites you to dissolve the very 'I' that craves power and status."
According to Osho, your eagerness for politics and lack of interest in religion arise from lifelong conditioning that feeds the ego’s race to be first. Politics gratifies an inferiority-driven need to feel special and powerful, while religion dissolves the ‘I.’ Because culture rewards comparison and ambition, you chase status ‘outside’ rather than transformation ‘inside,’ mistaking noise and positions for growth.
We were taught to win and look important, so politics feels exciting; religion asks us to drop our “me-first” game, so it seems boring.
Why this matters practically
- Notice ego-driven comparisons and step out of the race to be first.
- Practice humility and inner inquiry instead of chasing status.
- Redirect energy from power games to self-transformation and compassion.
