What is the beatitude about those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake?

To be persecuted for righteousness is a blessing, for it reveals your authenticity, burns the ego, and opens the door to the Kingdom of inner freedom and love.

— Osho
According to Osho, to be 'persecuted for righteousness' means society attacks you when you live from your inner rightness, not borrowed morality. Such persecution is a blessing: it proves your authenticity, burns the ego, deepens courage and aloneness, and opens the door to the Kingdom—an inner state of freedom, love, and God-alignment beyond approval or fear.

If people hassle you for truly doing what’s right inside, it makes you stronger and freer, bringing you closer to deep peace and love.
