According to Osho, the world habitually misunderstands enlightened beings; when not killing them outright, it neutralizes them more cunningly—honoring the person while poisoning the teaching (as with calling Buddha an avatar yet damning his followers). Societies and priestly powers protect themselves by crucifying or co‑opting. Unless individuals awaken beyond conditioning, this collective misunderstanding will continue.
People often hurt or fake‑honor the truly wise and twist their message; only your own awareness can see the truth.
