I Have to Be Offensive to Wake You Up!

"I understand your love, and I understand your love for my work. But you do not understand the ways the masters use to work on the sleeping humanity.
"Jesus was offensive – deliberately, because there..."
"I understand your love, and I understand your love for my work. But you do not understand the ways the masters use to work on the sleeping humanity.
"Jesus was offensive – deliberately, because there..."

Osho continues:
"Today they are nothing but the Queen of England; it means nothing. The Queen of England or the queen of playing cards – they are synonymous.

"Jesus sacrificed his life because in those primitive days there was no way to spread a message unless it thrilled the very heart of the merciless humanity. The struggle was not with the heart, the struggle was with the stones – or perhaps worse, because even stones are not as stony as a human being can be.

"Everybody who has tried to understand Jesus has thought it: 'Why was he offensive? He could have been a very respectable rabbi; people would have worshipped him, loved him. Instead of crucifying him they would have wanted to crown him.'

"But that was not the work Jesus was doing. The question was not the cross or the crown, the question was the awakened man or the sleepy, unconscious humanity. When you are deeply asleep you have to be shaken, your name has to be shouted, cold water has to be thrown into your eyes. But this is all done out of compassion.

"I have been offensive and I will remain offensive. I will go on growing more and more offensive, for the simple reason that you are so deep in a coma that perhaps only a scream might reach you – or might not reach you.

"Perhaps you will look at me for the first time only when I am on the cross. Right now you take me for granted – only the cross will destroy your state of taking me for granted. Perhaps only the cross can shake you enough so that you can wake up.

"You have said I may be hard with my disciples because they are committed to a certain work of evolution – it is not being done against them, they have come and they have joined me. The question is relevant: Why do I go on hammering on the politicians? Again, the questioner is innocent and ignorant. She does not understand the structure of human consciousness.

"When I criticize the politician, it is not the politician outside you, it is the politician within you.

"The outer politician is only a manifestation, a collective manifestation of your inner politicians."
