Question 1<br />

OSHO,<br />

CHAPTER 4<br />

Danger: truth at work<br />

WHY ARE THE COMMON MASSES AGAINST YOU, WHEN WHAT YOU SAY APPEARS TO US<br />

THE VERY TRUTH?<br />

THAT’S precisely why – because it appears <strong>to</strong> be the very truth.<br />

Truth is dangerous, dangerous <strong>to</strong> all those people who have been living in fictions, beautiful lies,<br />

nice dreams, u<strong>to</strong>pias.<br />

Truth is bound <strong>to</strong> be looked on as an enemy by all these people, because it is going <strong>to</strong> shatter all<br />

that they have believed and lived for.<br />

Truth is just the death of all kinds of lies, howsoever consoling they may have been.<br />

Why were the <strong>com</strong>mon people against Socrates? Why were the masses so antagonistic <strong>to</strong> Al-Hillaj<br />

Mansoor? Why were the orthodox, the religious, the respectable against jesus? Their only crime<br />

was they were saying something which was tremendously disturbing <strong>to</strong> people’s sleep. Nobody<br />

wants <strong>to</strong> be disturbed when he is having a beautiful dream.<br />

And people don’t have anything else except dreams.<br />
