Can the Bhagavad Gita be addressed to a group?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Religion is supremely personal; where the group begins, religion ends. True dialogue is a one-to-one journey, awakening the inner Krishna within each individual."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the Bhagavad Gita cannot be addressed to a group. A group is only a word; it has no ears or heart. True dialogue is one-to-one: Krishna speaks to Arjuna—the problem-ridden mind—in order to awaken the inner Krishna. Religion is supremely personal; where the group begins, religion ends. Words are only devices to trigger individual awakening.
No—teachings like the Gita speak to your own heart and problem, not to a crowd.
Why this matters practically
- Come with a real, personal question; don’t just listen passively in a crowd.
- Seek inner transformation, not group approval or consensus.
- Let meaning arise from your own experience; be receptive to awakening within.
