According to Osho, India resists awakening because centuries of life-denying, escapist teachings have poisoned its cultural roots, breeding a negative outlook that clings to the familiar 'night.' True awakening is surgical: it draws out deep pus, breaks sleep, and hurts—so people respond with contempt and anger. Their abuse only proves disturbance and defeat; if a few awaken, the nation’s slumber can end.
People are used to the dark and taught life is bad, so waking them up hurts and they get angry at the one shaking them.
