Bhagwan Shree Osho Rajneesh: Anybody Who Gives You a Belief System is Your Enemy Youtube Video

I will start commenting about this video of Osho from some other angle. We know that whenever anybody tries to dominate somebody through physical torture or some kind of forced behavior or arguments then we call it violence. Actually, we only know about this violence because we do not go far beyond this violence. We are pretty sure that such a violence is unfair and needs to be stopped by all of us. We do not know how this violence comes into existence. We have been condemning such violence since centuries but still we are not able to get rid of it. There is some kind of fundamental mistake that we are doing. This can be the only reason for such a violent society.

Osho here in this video is talking about some other kind of violence when we impose our belief systems on others. It does not matter that the belief systems have been given in a peaceful way but later they sow the seeds of hate, anger and jealousy. This kind of violence is the seed of the violence that we see in our daily life.




Every individual is born with some kind of natural bliss and wisdom. Before, he blossoms we overwrite things on his innocent mind. We overwrite on his wisdom and it creates an individual full of acquired knowledge and morality. Now, whenever he wants to do anything, he would consider that overwritten material first rather than his own wisdom. It creates conflict within himself. The seed that we had sown begins to grow towards hate and violence. The war and violence that we see in our daily life is the projection of our inner conflict.

People say that Osho is also giving a belief system where there is no belief system at all but it is not true. If, you say this is a belief system from Osho then it also cancels itself according to its definition and nothingness remains. One is just left with his own wisdom. Whatever comes out in that nothingness is divine.

In this world, the different cultures have their own moral values and belief systems and every culture thinks that they are right. I can see this thing within the families too. A family living in the east will condemn the belief systems of west because east considers west as too open and sex oriented but why it is wrong? How can anybody say that our culture is rich and the rest are not fair. We start bringing up our child according to our own moralities and principles. We should just teach some universal laws to a child like if your are going to put your hand in fire, it is going to hurt you but we teach things like if, you are not afraid of God, you will go to hell. An individual occupied with fear can never blossom in his life.

My whole point here is not to justify any specific belief system or culture but I want to talk here about the double standards present in our life. That is why Osho is calling that person your enemy who is ready to give you a belief system. The only problem here is that one is not aware of the enemy but he actually is. This is going to create conflict between an acquired belief system and your own wisdom. One cannot remain fully happy and satisfied in such a conflict.
