According to Osho, opposition is inevitable because his presence and declaration of living truth shatter conditioned minds, cut the roots of borrowed beliefs, and offend the ego. People tolerate past or future saints, but a contemporary who says 'I have realized' destroys their consoling hopes, exposing hidden misery; thus they react defensively, even violently, to protect identity and comfort.
People get upset because a living teacher saying “it’s real, now” breaks their comfy beliefs and hopes, so their egos fight back.
