Why is there so much secrecy in the ashram?

“

Secrecy in the ashram is not about hiding, but about creating a sacred space where only the truly ready can embark on their journey of inner transformation.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the ashram’s ‘secrecy’ is deliberate privacy to protect a space for the few who are truly ready for inner transformation. It is not a marketplace for the curious or the media. By filtering out distraction and ‘rubbish,’ he can engage in deep dialogue with genuine seekers, so their opportunity to awaken isn’t crowded out or wasted.
We keep it private so only people who truly want to change come, and they can learn without noisy crowds getting in the way.
Why this matters practically
- Protects focus and depth for sincere practitioners.
- Saves time and energy by reducing distractions and superficial curiosity.
- Ensures those ready for change receive direct guidance.
