Ask Osho!

Why are priests, politicians, and governments unaware of impending global crises?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Those in power suppress awareness of impending crises, for to acknowledge them would shatter their illusion of control and expose their mediocrity. True intelligence and creativity remain sidelined, leaving leadership blind to the dangers that loom ahead."

According to Osho, priests, politicians, and thus governments aren’t truly unaware—they suppress awareness. Knowing the future holds crises they can’t solve, they keep people in the dark to avoid upheaval and protect power and image. Politics attracts mediocre, power-seeking minds with inferiority complexes, while the truly intelligent and creative remain powerless; hence leadership lacks vision and courage to face impending global dangers.
They hide the truth because they can’t fix it and want to keep control, while the smartest people aren’t in charge.
Why this matters practically
- Cultivate independent, science-informed awareness instead of relying solely on official narratives.
- Empower creative, intelligent voices and demand transparent, competent leadership.
- Take grassroots action and personal responsibility to prepare for and prevent crises.
