Ask Osho!

What is the message for the Pope who is in India?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Welcome the Pope with respect, but let the light of intelligent dialogue reveal the limitations of his beliefs, for true spirituality transcends all dogmas."

According to Osho, India should welcome the pope with respect but challenge him through open, friendly public dialogues with Hindu, Buddhist, and Jaina mystics—expose, don’t oppose. Intelligent discussion will reveal Christianity’s limitations and offer him a taste of authentic spirituality. Protests are un-Eastern, create sympathy for him, and strengthen missionaries; trust the East’s deeper wisdom and let truth shine in debate.
Don’t shout at the pope; kindly invite him to talk with wise people so the truth shows itself.
Why this matters practically
- Replaces hostility with dialogue, reducing backlash and sympathy for error.
- Builds confidence in your own tradition by letting truth speak openly.
- Creates space for genuine spiritual understanding for all sides.
