Why is India often seen as ignorant in recognizing spiritual leaders?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Osho, India appears 'ignorant' not uniquely, but like all nations: people recognize only what fits their past religious images. Living masters are originals, not carbon copies, so patterned minds (Hindu/Indian identities and the 'sacred country' ego) cannot see them. Recognition requires meeting the herenow without prejudice. Since only individuals, not countries, have souls, collective pride blinds the crowd, while a few unconditioned individuals can truly recognize.
