According to Osho, criticizing authority figures—like the Pope—and opposing organized religion naturally attracts “trouble,” which he welcomes as the friction truth creates with bogus leadership. Yet he expects little harm from ordinary, loving people (e.g., Italians); it’s institutions that feel threatened and react. Thus the real consequence is institutional pushback, not personal hostility—and it’s a price worth paying.
Speaking against big religious leaders might bring trouble from institutions, but most people are kind, so don’t fear telling the truth.
