Why do my husband and relatives not see any progress in me, and why do they criticize my connection to Osho?

According to Osho, others resist your meditation not because it is bad but because your inner rise threatens their familiar hierarchy. Spouses and relatives feel left behind and lose the old pleasure of correcting or controlling you. They didn’t marry this ‘new’ you, so your calm, less-reactive, even less-sexual presence feels like loss. Unable to measure inward progress, they criticize to restore the old balance and keep you within their comfort.

When you grow inside, they feel smaller and scared of change, so they complain to pull you back to what’s familiar.
