Core Insight:
According to Osho, people criticize those who proclaim godliness or enlightenment because misery and ego cannot bear a living example of bliss. The presence of a 'mountain' exposes their own 'desert,' acting like a mirror that humiliates them. Negativity says 'no' to transcendence, so they deny, reject, and ridicule what they have not realized - an ancient, habitual defense against the wound of comparison.
