According to Osho, the public misunderstands because it is asleep and conditioned; its habits of understanding are fixed. The crowd (Pritakjan) hears through old patterns and cannot meet the new; only a few awakened (Prabuddhjan) can truly understand. Therefore, don’t be shocked—have compassion, don’t be harsh; share, but don’t expect instant recognition.
Most people wear old mental glasses that twist new truths, so be kind and patient when they don’t get it.
