According to Osho, the word 'father' can be an empty label: institutions even call celibate priests “father,” though they are neither husbands nor parents. He uses this absurdity to show how religious roles and titles often contradict lived reality. Don’t be hypnotized by names; seek authenticity and experience over institutional status or inherited language.
Sometimes people are called “father” even when they aren’t; don’t trust titles—look at what someone really is and does.
