According to Osho, rising above politics is impossible without transcending the mind, because mind itself is politics—ambition, exploitation, mastery and slavery. Only through meditation and entry into no-mind does one become truly religious and free of both overt and covert power games. A sannyasin neither seeks to rule nor to be ruled, remaining simply human beyond ego.
You can’t escape power games until you quiet the ego-mind with meditation and live from a silent, no-mind space.
