Protection

Q: How can one be protected from the teachings of Osho?

According to Osho, being ‘protected’ from his teaching is his job: he uses himself as a device—first to free you from worldly desires, then to kindle longing for truth, and finally to smash even that longing, including belief in Osho. When every prop, even nirvana, is dropped, you awaken, stand alone—you are Osho.

Q: How can we best protect the essence of a beloved teacher?

According to Osho, the only way to truly protect a beloved teacher is to grow up inwardly: become mature, integrated, and attuned to the divine. No outer defenses can nourish the master; your transformed life does. Let your love, celebrative dance, and the cool flame of unconditional sharing embody the teaching, thereby preserving and saving the essence.

Q: Why do I feel a need to protect you?

According to Osho, you feel protective because whatever is higher—love, compassion, enlightenment—appears flower-like: radiant yet vulnerable amid coarse forces like hate and mass ignorance. Sensing both my inner strength (rooted in lived truth) and the delicacy of its expression, your love wants to shield it. The impulse reflects reverence for authenticity meeting the world’s roughness.
