Why are there not many sannyasins in Spain?

The path to enlightenment is not measured by numbers or geography; it is an inner journey that invites laughter and lightness.

— Osho
According to Osho, there aren’t many sannyasins in Spain because “the bulls don’t like them”—a playful nod to Spain’s bullfighting and the sannyasins’ orange-red robes. His quip suggests not taking statistics or geography too seriously; the path is inner, not about numbers or locales. Humor punctures solemnity and reminds seekers to relax, laugh, and keep perspective.

He’s joking that bulls dislike the orange robes, hinting that where followers live doesn’t matter—inner growth does.
