Description

Acharya Prashant addresses a questioner's distress regarding the misuse of Osho's name and teachings by followers who share inappropriate content and display a lack of genuine respect. He explains that when profound teachings fall into the hands of those who lack spiritual depth, they are inevitably distorted. He uses the examples of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and Bhagwan Buddha to illustrate that certain actions or states of being—such as Guru Nanak Dev Ji sleeping with his feet toward the Kaaba or Buddha being indifferent to nudity—are expressions of their supreme spiritual realization. For an ordinary person to imitate these actions without reaching that same height is not freedom, but rather insolence and bad behavior. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that one must earn the right to speak certain truths or perform certain acts. He criticizes the tendency of people to cherry-pick topics like sex from Osho's vast body of work while ignoring his extensive commentaries on the Gita, Upanishads, and various saints. He asserts that such followers are merely using a great master's name to justify their own base desires and vulgarity. He warns that after a master passes away, their name is often exploited by those seeking to indulge in misconduct under the guise of spiritual liberty. Finally, Acharya Prashant advises seekers to focus directly on the authentic words, books, and recordings left behind by masters rather than getting entangled in organizations, ashrams, or self-appointed successors. He points out that people often seek a social community or a 'tribe' rather than the truth itself. He cautions against the 'living gurus' who merely mimic the appearance and anecdotes of past masters without possessing their actual spiritual fire. He concludes that technology now allows for the preservation of a teacher's original message, which helps protect it from being corrupted by the ego and ignorance of followers.
