Core Insight:
According to Osho, the 'lineage' of sages is a social accident, not a spiritual credential. Early rishis were Brahmins only because the varna system monopolized religion; enlightenment itself is open to every human being. The Kshatriya revolt of Buddha and Mahavira shattered that monopoly, proving awakening does not inherit through caste or pedigree. True qualification is simple humanness, not lineage.
