Core Insight:
According to Osho, sannyasins are opposed because a hypocritical society worships belief over knowing and words over lived truth. When someone insists on direct experience, refuses borrowed beliefs, and lives truthfully, he mirrors society’s lies—exposing split personalities, false charity, and pious violence. Such integrity creates discomfort and threatens vested interests, so the collective resists, condemns, and tries to force obedience over authenticity.
