Why does Acharya Tulsi want to have himself beaten up with his own hands?

According to Osho, Acharya Tulsi’s urge to be “beaten with his own hands” reflects an ego that feels alive only through opposition. Some people provoke attack and bray for attention, thereby inviting the very thrashing they lament. By making noise and resisting, they advertise themselves and guarantee criticism; had they remained quiet, no one would have bothered.
