Core Insight:
According to Osho, violence grows wherever religion claims exclusive ownership of truth—'only son,' 'final prophet,' or unique chosenness—because such claims seed fanaticism, superiority, and intolerance. Organized creeds then defend dogmas, not consciousness, turning faith into conflict. Real religiousness is meditative, non-fanatical, and plural; it dissolves egoic specialness, so there is nothing to fight for, and compassion replaces coercion.
