definition
"The true reformer is one who first seeks to be reformed, for only through raw honesty and self-exposure can genuine transformation arise."
According to Osho, the real task of reformers is to be reformed themselves. Society teems with would‑be fixers whose own minds need ‘surgery’: raw honesty, exposure, and willingness to be hurt so transformation can happen. He trains disciples to reform the reformers—shifting from argument and dogma to living communion—so change arises from authenticity, not polished pretenses.

- Favors open-hearted dialogue over fruitless argument.
