What is the difference between Judas betraying Jesus and Siddha betraying the commune?

You cannot betray me; you can only betray yourself. True faith lies in trusting your own being, not in following another.

— Osho
According to Osho, Judas betrayed Jesus because Jesus demanded faith in himself as savior; Osho demands no faith in him, only trust in oneself. Therefore no one can betray Osho—one can only betray oneself. Sheela’s gang betrayed their own growth; Siddha and others were forced out by Sheela, still love Osho, and intend to return—no betrayal.

Judas turned on Jesus, but Osho says you can’t turn on him—only on yourself; Siddha didn’t betray, while Sheela only harmed her own growth.
