Core Insight:
According to Osho, attraction waned because the ego craves difficult, competitive peaks and postpones what seems simple and always available. Seeing countless saints attain meditation made it appear easy, non-urgent, and non-competitive; ambition, wealth, and status seemed more challenging and ego-nourishing. Meditation threatens the ego’s very existence, offering no outer trophies, so the mind avoids it and chooses worldly races instead.
