Core Insight:
According to Osho, people oppose certain teachings not from reason but from fear born of misunderstanding. Conditioned by conventions, traditions, and ready-made beliefs, their prejudiced minds mishear anything that challenges the past. Because authentic religion is individual rebellion—not a transmissible tradition—new revelations threaten inherited identities and security. Thus the masses resist what demands personal discovery, risking the admission that they and their forebears may have been wrong.
