Thoughts of Osho on Why no society wants you to become wise
No society likes people to use their own intelligence because the moment they start using their intelligence they become dangerous.
Freedom comes with wisdom, intrinsically. They are inseparable, and no society wants people to be free. And true intelligence arises from Wisdom.
Wisdom and intelligence are against the investment of all societies
Osho
Wisdom and intelligence are against the investment of all societies. If people are wise, they cannot be exploited. If they are intelligent, they cannot be subjugated, they cannot be forced into a mechanical life, to live like robots. They will assert themselves – they will assert their individuality. They will have the fragrance of rebellion around them; they will want to live in freedom.
Osho(born Chandra Mohan Jain; 1931 –1990), also known as Acharya Rajneesh, was an Indian godman, mystic, and founder of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime, he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and a mystic guru. He rejected institutional religions. Rajneesh emphasized the importance of freethought, meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity, and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious dogmas, and societal traditions.
