Description

Acharya Prashant addresses the question regarding the visible changes in Osho's personality, attire, and lifestyle over the decades. He explains that while ordinary people often lack consistency due to fear or greed, the changes in an enlightened being or a 'Buddha Purusha' stem from a completely different source. Such a person does not identify with their personality or body; instead, they surrender their entire existence to the Truth or the Divine. Consequently, their personality becomes a mere tool or instrument to serve a higher mission. Acharya Prashant emphasizes that Osho's willingness to change his form—from wearing a simple dhoti to designer clothes and expensive watches—is a sign of profound selflessness and impersonality. It indicates that he had no personal attachment to a specific image and was free to adopt any form, whether that of a teacher or even a jester, if it served the Divine purpose. Acharya Prashant further distinguishes between the changes in an ordinary person and those in a realized soul. An ordinary person changes their persona based on social pressure, greed, or fear, often worrying about public perception and reputation. In contrast, a realized being has renounced their individual form and is thus free to manifest in infinite ways. He compares this to the difference between reincarnation, driven by desire, and incarnation, which is a free choice for a higher cause. To understand a saint, one must not look through ordinary eyes that seek worldly consistency, but through a vision that recognizes their total surrender to the Truth. The speaker concludes that what might appear as a marketing gimmick or inconsistency to a common observer is actually a manifestation of ultimate freedom and dedication to a spiritual mission.
