According to Osho, priests are not ignorant; they are deeply knowledgeable in human psychology—but their knowing is crafty and exploitative. They skillfully play on fear, guilt, and weakness to control people. This is technique, not truth. Real wisdom is awareness and inner experience, not priestly manipulation; therefore, beware of authority and seek direct understanding.
Priests know how to push people’s buttons, but that isn’t real wisdom—trust your own awareness instead.
