According to Osho, being misunderstood is inevitable for those who speak truth. Enlightened ones speak from a different, inexpressible experience; words lose their intended meaning and are translated by the masses through their own darkness, conditioning, and investment in illusion. The gap is unbridgeable until one becomes conscious; hence rumors arise and only rare, disciplined disciples slowly understand through awakening, not argument.
It’s like trying to explain light to people in a dark cave—they’ll guess from darkness until they open their own eyes.
