Osho on Why have you chosen this dead country as the field of your work?

Why have you chosen this dead country as the field of your work?

I chose this 'dead' country because within its dying spirit lies an unparalleled treasure of ancient wisdom waiting to be revived and shared with the world.

— Osho
According to Osho, he chose this 'dead' country precisely because it is dying yet holds an unmatched spiritual treasure. One heals the sick, not the healthy; breathing life into this corpse-like culture could rekindle India's ancient wisdom and ignite a worldwide revolution in consciousness. Though arduous and resisted, reviving it—making it contemporary and youthful—is a challenge he deliberately embraces.

He works here because it needs help most and, once awakened, can share its hidden wisdom with the world.
