Ramayana

In a profound philosophical observation, Osho noted that there’s no real contradiction: Valmiki (Balya the Bhil) attained Buddhahood by innocently chanting “mara, mara,” but precisely because he was unlettered—and because enlightened ones speak rather than write—the Ramayana was likely composed by later Brahmin scholars and attributed to him. Therefore Osho can revere Valmiki’s enlightenment while freely challenging flaws or “rubbish” inserted into the Rama–Sita story by subsequent compilers.
