What should be done so that people can understand you? - OSHO

What should be done so that people can understand you? I feel very sad to see so much misunderstanding about you and your teachings.

Ananto, In a way it is natural. It is not unusual, it is to be expected that people will misunderstand me. They have always misunderstood the truth, the naked truth. And they are very slow, so they always get the joke very late.

They started understanding Buddha when he was dead, they started understanding Socrates when they themselves had killed him, they started having respect for Jesus when they had crucified him – they themselves! Now they remember with great respect the names of Al-Hillaj Mansur and Sarmad, whom they themselves destroyed.

People are very slow to understand.


Ananto, you ask me: “What should be done so that people can understand you?”

In fact, nothing can be done.

If you understand me, live that understanding, that’s all.

If somebody is ready to understand it, good. If nobody is ready to understand it, that is nothing to bother about, that is their business. Don’t become too concerned about others because that concern will disturb your own growth. Grow according to your inner light, and if you are full of light maybe some people will start understanding.

If my sannyasins start living exactly what I mean, then that’s enough. A few people will certainly understand you, and only a few are capable of understanding it; the larger mob is incapable of understanding anything that goes beyond them. But that is their freedom. If they don’t want to understand, it has not to be forced upon them.

A drunk was weaving around the bar of an exclusive hotel. He asked the barman the way to the men’s toilet and he was told that it was the first door on the right down the hall. So he blundered through the first door on the left and fell into the swimming pool.
He had been treading water for well over five minutes when the door opened.
“For God’s sake!’ he screamed. “Don”t flush it yet!’
