"To be truly human, one must transcend the hypnotic conditioning of religious identity and embrace the beauty of diversity, for only then can we dissolve the hostility that arises from fear of difference."
According to Osho, intolerance toward other religions arises from childhood conditioning that hypnotizes you into a fixed religious identity. Others’ beliefs awaken your repressed doubts, threatening borrowed certainties, so you resist or try to convert them. The mind fears difference and clings to conformity; becoming aware of this hypnosis and dropping labels to be simply human dissolves the hostility.
You were taught only your team is right, so other teams stir hidden doubts and fear—let go of the label and just be human.
Why this matters practically
- Pause when intolerance appears; feel the doubt and inquire instead of reacting.
- Explore other traditions with curiosity to test borrowed beliefs.
- Meditate or self-inquire to root truth in direct experience, not group identity.
