According to Osho, the crowd always vilifies living rebels as evil and only sanctifies them later; Jesus was crucified, Buddha and Mahavira were attacked, and even Krishna is condemned by some. Feeling threatened, the orthodox mind grabs a modern byword for depravity—Rasputin—to smear him, rather than recognizing the same liberating spirit found in Buddhas.
People fear living truth-tellers, so they call them bad names like “Rasputin” instead of seeing their deeper goodness.
