What happens when I perceive fanatics in my environment?

Opposition to truth unwittingly serves it; see adversaries as involuntary allies, and let courage, not anxiety, guide your response.

— Osho
According to Osho, sensing fanatics is not paranoia—the world has them—but don’t fear. Opposition to truth unwittingly serves it: persecution seals and spreads a message, as with Jesus, Socrates, and Mansoor. So stay uncompromisingly true; even death, inevitable anyway, can become a benediction to the work. See adversaries as involuntary allies, and let courage, not anxiety, guide your response.

When you notice extreme opponents, don’t panic—they can accidentally make the truth louder, so keep calm and stay true.
