Ask Osho!

Why have misleading labels like 'sex guru' and 'guru of the rich' been attached to your name?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Labels are the weapons of those who fear the truth; they twist my words to distract from the essence of my teachings, which transcend mere indulgence and seek the divine within."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, such labels are propaganda by vested interests - politicians, religious leaders, and sensationalist media - who seize on a single word, sex, and repeat lies until they seem true. His teaching is about transcending sex and using prosperity as a base for spirituality, not indulgence. Because he refuses to chase newspapers or refute every rumor, and lacks worldly power, fabrications spread unchecked.
People who feel threatened pick catchy words, repeat them in the news, and because Osho doesn't fight every rumor, the labels stick - even though he teaches going beyond sex and using wealth to grow spiritually.
Why this matters practically
- Look past headlines; repeated labels can be deliberate distortions.
- See prosperity as a platform for inner growth, not an enemy of spirituality.
- Test teachings through your own experience instead of borrowed opinions.
