Ask Osho!

What is the reason that the siddhas Saraha and Tilopa are not recognized in their land of birth?

Synthesized from Source definition

"In a culture suffocated by tradition, the living truth often goes unrecognized, for it threatens the very foundations upon which the old order stands."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, Saraha and Tilopa go unrecognized at home because a centuries-old burden of punditry smothers living truth: armies of scholars with vested interests drown out the fresh, heart-born voice that undermines their logic, scriptures, and livelihoods. In such a stale, blind culture, sects unite to suppress the new; thus these siddhas are honored abroad but resisted where they were born.
Too many book-smart gatekeepers protect their turf, so they silence fresh, living wisdom—making saints valued abroad but ignored at home.
Why this matters practically
- Learn to value living insight over secondhand scholarship.
- Notice how group interests can distort or silence truth.
- Support authentic voices even when they challenge tradition.
