Core Insight:
According to Osho, enlightenment doesn’t guarantee external nonviolence; it ensures inner nonviolence. An awakened one may wield force—like Muhammad’s ‘surgical’ sword or Krishna urging Arjuna—only as the lesser evil, free of anger, moved by compassion, and demanded by circumstances. The act is precise, reluctant, and protective, chosen to prevent greater harm. The danger lies not in them, but in followers who relish violence.
