According to Osho, the masses resist enlightened beings because they live as a herd, invested in habits, identities, and comforting sleep. A Buddha’s presence exposes their inner bankruptcy, shatters borrowed certainties, and forces a risky choice toward freedom and the unknown. Feeling humiliated and uprooted, people prefer the familiar group and destroy the disturber rather than transform themselves.
People dislike awakened teachers because they shake our comfy illusions and ask us to leave the crowd and change, which feels scary.
