Ask Osho!

How can we remember you as a friend and not as an authority figure?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Remember me as a friend who shares his experience, not as an authority to be followed; let your own discovery be the ultimate truth."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, remember him as a friend by refusing to make him an authoritarian figure. He claims no divine mandate; he speaks only from his own experience. Do not believe or disbelieve for reward or fear—enquire, experiment, and verify. Treat his words as pointers, not commandments; your discovery, not his authority, is the final proof.
Think of him as a helpful friend who shares what he’s found—don’t worship his words; try them and see for yourself.
