According to Osho, priests can truly help only by refusing to console with comforting lies and instead jolting people into awareness. Rather than sedating humanity with promises of an already-eternal soul, they should provoke inquiry into death, courage, and self-transformation. Real help fosters witnessing and integrated consciousness—guiding seekers to create a soul through direct experience, not hypnotic repetition.
Priests help most by waking people up to reality so they bravely do the inner work to become truly conscious, not by telling cozy stories.
