According to Osho, Christianity’s messianic hope and Hinduism’s expectation of Vishnu’s tenth incarnation are the same psychological strategy: a future-oriented fantasy that keeps people waiting rather than transforming now. The savior is always ‘coming’ but should never arrive; enlightenment does not return in person, and Vishnu is mythic. Such promises console the masses and maintain social order, while postponing individual awakening to the present.
Both beliefs are like telling yourself a hero will come later so you don’t have to change today.
