Core Insight:
According to Osho, enlightened ones point to inner transformation because they speak from direct awakening; but hearers, listening from valleys of unconsciousness, mishear, add their own darkness, and later organize, codify, and ritualize those distortions. Over centuries, disciples’ fingerprints replace the master’s signature: rules, scriptures and customs remain, while living awareness is lost. Hence religions stress conduct and rites; only fresh enlightenment can re-polish the mirror.
