What is the role of criticism in propagating a vision?

Criticism is the shadow of truth; it reveals the power of a vision, transforming attack into eventual acknowledgment, but true understanding simply loves and lives the truth without the need for glorification.

— Osho
According to Osho, criticism is the inevitable second act after ignoring a living truth fails: attack, crucify, vilify. Such opposition unwittingly publicizes the vision, admits its power, and, through later guilt, even turns into glorification. Yet true understanding doesn’t glorify; it simply loves and lives the truth.

When people can’t ignore a real truth, they fight it—and that fight accidentally spreads it—while the wise just live it with love.
