According to Osho, the small numbers are deliberate: he ended the ‘fairground’ of thousands and created doors-within-doors so only those hungry for inner revolution can reach him. Crowds, he says, signal falsity and egoic power-hunger; the right rarely gathers multitudes. He prefers seekers ready to drop props—status, opinions, herd-support—so that, in their very strengthlessness, the Divine support can meet them.
Because Osho avoids showy crowds and welcomes only a few who truly want to change, not be entertained.
