According to Osho, the seed of Jewish suffering was sown at Sinai: Moses’ proclamation of a final, exclusive revelation and a “chosen people” fostered priestly control, spiritual ego, and a closed, legalistic mind. This rigidity made the tradition reject living masters like Jesus, cut it off from ongoing divine creativity, and turned a vibrant tree into a leafless, suffering one.
Believing you’re God’s only favorites and that truth is already finished makes you proud and rigid—and brings trouble.
