Why are governments afraid of certain teachings?

Governments fear teachings that awaken individual awareness and love, for they inspire independent minds that cannot be easily manipulated.

— Osho
According to Osho, governments fear certain teachings because they uproot their authority: he questions traditions, organized religion, and politics as a ‘dirty game,’ demanding leadership by genuine intelligence and humanity. Unable to answer his critique, bureaucracies and clergy fear exposure and loss of control. Such teachings awaken individual awareness and love, inspiring independent minds who won’t be easily manipulated—therefore institutions react with bans, smears, and exclusion.

They’re scared because ideas that make people think and love for themselves weaken the grip of bosses, priests, and politicians.
