Core Insight:
According to Osho, Mahavira became the decisive twenty-fourth tirthankara—the tradition's final 'seal'—by giving the shramana vision its ultimate coherence. Paradoxically, his utterly non-sectarian, relativistic insight (that every view is partial) birthed the Jain sampradaya without sectarianism. Thus his authority lies not in dogma, but in a many-sided truth that guides seekers while honoring other paths.
