According to Osho, blame rests with the awakened guide—even one who teaches love and meditation—not with the sleepwalkers. People were 'asleep'; those with power acted unconsciously, and others followed. By withdrawing into silence, he left them alone, so he accepts full responsibility and asks forgiveness for them. The one who knows must stay present; otherwise unconsciousness misuses power.
If the wise adult leaves the room and the sleepy kids make a mess, the adult says, “It’s my fault for leaving you alone.”
