According to Osho, politicians generally lack true intelligence: if one had real brains, one would choose creativity, love, or meditation—not power games. Politics attracts the lowest-grade intellect, dominated by dogma, slogans, and illogic. His anecdotes show how ideological fixation blinds simple reasoning, proving that political ambition often signals poverty of awareness, not richness of mind.
Most politicians aren’t very smart; truly smart people create beauty, love, and peace instead of chasing power.
