Religion is Rebellious

“Religion is rebellious, is bound to be so, because a true religion starts saying things that the tradition will oppose.  Only one of these two can exist: either the mass, unintelligent crowd mind, which creates the tradition, or a man like Jesus or Buddha or Mahavira.  They are alone.  And what they are saying can be understood only by the chosen few.  What they bring to the world is something so otherworldly, that unless you can have a heart to heart contact with them, there is no way of understanding them - you will misunderstand.” - Osho pg. 43 "The Magic of Self-Respect"
