Core Insight:
According to Osho, humility in spiritual hierarchy is a deliberate psychological device: when the apparently 'lower' bows to the 'higher,' it restrains the leader’s ego, making it difficult to exploit or lead others into sin. Such deference does not demean the humble; it protects virtue and subtly honors them, transforming hierarchy into a safeguard against aggression and a training in egolessness for both.
