According to Osho, the very notion of a prophet is born of ego; anyone who claims prophethood is already a 'false prophet.' To appear 'true,' such claimants invent 'false' others and dump all ugliness onto them. Prophecies fail, fanatic minds rationalize, and authority replaces inquiry. Real spirituality abandons prophecy and secondhand authority, starting afresh in direct exploration of one's inner being and life itself.
If someone says “I’m God’s special messenger,” Osho says that’s just their ego—don’t wait for promises; look within and learn directly.
