What should I do when I feel guilt about disagreeing with spiritual teachings on politics or society?

Choose between the path of self-discovery with the master or the distractions of societal opinions; true commitment demands clarity, not conflict.

— Osho
According to Osho, end guilt by choosing: either drop sannyas and keep your political and social opinions, or, if the spiritual search is truly dear, drop those ‘two‑bit’ notions and be totally with the master. He deliberately challenges views to test commitment and remove the half‑hearted. Only enlightened vision can judge society; until then, prioritize self-knowing over ideology—or leave cleanly, without inner conflict.

Pick one: keep your opinions and leave the path, or drop your opinions and follow fully—don’t sit in guilt.
