Man lives in illusion. Man lives through illusion. Man lives for illusion. In short, man lives because of illusion, hence the fear of truth. Nobody wants truth although everybody goes on seeking for it. That seeking is a deception, that seeking is an avoidance; to seek truth means to avoid truth. How the seeker goes on avoiding truth has to be understood. Truth looks like a calamity. Friedrich Nietzsche is right in a sense when he says: Please dont give truth to humanity; otherwise you will destroy peoples joy, you will destroy their enthusiasm, you will destroy their gusto. Dont give truth to humanity otherwise all that they have will disappear because all that they have is a kind of dream. Dont wake humanity otherwise the dreams will be shattered, and they may be seeing beautiful dreams – or hoping to see, somewhere, sometime. Thats why Christ is crucified, Socrates is poisoned, Buddha is stoned: they bring truth to people who have become almost illusory, they bring light to people who live in darkness and dream in darkness. And their dreams depend on darkness – when somebody brings light into the darkness, the darkness disappears and the dreams and the desires. Osho
