Core Insight:
According to Osho, religion becomes "rational" only when living, spontaneous realization is frozen by followers into creeds, dogmas and ideals. A Buddha or Jesus is an unpatterned, nonrational flowering; disciples then systematize it so reason can grasp and imitate it. This transforms a wild, personal awakening into rules and suppressions—reason’s attempt to manage the immeasurable—producing a creed that replaces authentic presence with patterned imitation.
