According to Osho, betrayal of a master springs from humanity’s undeveloped, politicized mind that clings to father figures and power structures. When a master demands inner evolution and freedom from priests and politicians, the childish, fearful ego retaliates—sometimes even selling the master out. Such treachery is the mind’s final defense to avoid transformation and preserve dependency, dogma, and the status quo.
Yes—people betray a true teacher because their scared, boss-loving mind doesn’t want to change, so it attacks the one who asks them to grow.
