outcome
"Real religion dismantles your conditioning and shakes the ego; it is the authentic call that frightens you because the change it brings is profound and irreversible."
According to Osho, ‘religion’ feels threatening in Poona because here you meet religion itself, not its worn-out word or churchly ritual. Institutions leave you unchanged, but real religion dismantles your conditioning, shakes the ego, and initiates irreversible transformation. That immediacy frightens you—yet it’s the authentic call. The fear is real because the change is real, not theatrical.
Being here is scary because it’s not pretend religion—it actually tries to change you, and your ego resists.
