Ask Osho!

What is our duty in times of false religions?

Synthesized from Source definition

"In times of false religions, our duty is to awaken the true spirit within us and to act intelligently at the roots, nurturing understanding and curbing the conditions that breed exploitation."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, our duty is twofold: halt the spread of false, market-driven religions and reawaken the authentic flowering of this land’s true religion. Do not fear opponents; trust understanding friends. Remember and embody your ancient spiritual attainment. Act intelligently at the roots—curb poverty and unchecked population that make people exploitable—instead of following self-interested priests and pundits.
Stop fake teachings, grow real wisdom, remember your roots, and fix problems like poverty and too many people so no one can be tricked.
Why this matters practically
- Promotes clear discernment and nonviolent resistance to manipulative proselytizing.
- Focuses on root causes—family planning, education, and poverty reduction—to prevent exploitation.
- Centers life on genuine inner understanding rather than fear or blind tradition.
