What is the threat of the sublime and why do people suppress it?

Question

Accepted Answer

According to Osho, the sublime—real happiness or paradise—threatens the ego because it asks nothing to achieve and dissolves the clever, controlling mind that manufactures misery. Happiness is natural, the simple absence of self-made suffering, but people cling to familiar pain, jealousies, and habits that give them identity and something to “do” or boast about. So they suppress the sublime by refusing to drop the very mechanisms that perpetuate their misery.
