According to Osho, when followers fixate on a master’s teachings, they “close the door”: they declare the revelation final, canonize the past, and deny the possibility of new enlightened beings. After Muhammad, Jesus, and Buddha, their traditions sealed the stream, tolerating only a return of the same figure (e.g., Maitreya) rather than fresh awakening in others.
People lock the gate to new wisdom and say only the old book and old hero count.
