Ask Osho!

Is dedicating a book to Gorbachev a contradiction if one is against politicians?

Synthesized from Source definition

"True humanity transcends politics; it is the peacemakers, not the power-seekers, who deserve our honor and dedication."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, dedicating a book to Gorbachev is no contradiction because Gorbachev is a man in politics, not a politician: his actions favor peace, friendship, and humanity over power and war. Osho contrasts true humanitarians like Gorbachev and Sakharov with politicians who manufacture enemies to rule, honoring peacemakers who seek to save this beautiful planet.
No—he supports people in government who act kindly and make peace, not those who play war games to keep power.
Why this matters practically
- Judge people by actions and values, not labels or roles.
- Support peacemakers and humanitarians in any field.
- Choose friendship-building over enemy-making in your own life.
