Osho on Disrespect

Disrespect

In Osho's view, labeling others as 'cabbages' celebrates their silent innocence akin to Buddhas, while calling someone an 'asshole' serves not as condemnation but as a candid reflection, inviting us to shatter ego and embrace self-inquiry over hollow respectability.

Osho's perspective on Disrespect

"To call someone a 'cabbage' is to celebrate their silent innocence, while labeling another an 'asshole' is merely to acknowledge the truth of their being; both serve to puncture the ego and invite deeper self-reflection."

He says 'cabbage' points to innocent, peaceful being, and 'asshole' is just a blunt fact—no insult—used to wake us up.
