Milarepa: The Great Tibetan Tantric narrated by Sadhguru
In this video we can find this story. But Osho said that the root of all religions are hallucinations:
But what would happen if Milarepa would tell what he experienced today to a Western medical doctor? Would he not doubt about him, and eventually give him the diagnosis of a loss of reality? Psychosis is often described as a “loss of reality” or a “break from reality” because you experience or believe things that aren’t real:

But Buddhists have a completely different perspective. Tibetan Buddhist Master Loten Dahortsang said Buddhism rejects an objective reality:
«Buddhism rejects an objective reality. The reality is the perspective of the subjective perception».
And was also for Jesus his subjective perception his reality? A voice from the sky said to Jesus «you are my beloved son», and the devil spoke to him «make this stone to bread if you are God’s son». God spoke also to Moses out of the fire and said to him he should liberate the Israely from slavery.
If all of these would talk to medical doctors today, would they not doubt about those and diagnose them as mentally sick? But if this would happen today, would it not be a mistake of the medical doctors of today?And was it not also mistake of Osho to say that the root of all religions are hallucinations? Is this not very simple? After hunderts of years about religious studies about different religions?
It has neither been proofen or disproofen that they hallucinated, it is difficult to proof or disproof we don’t know. But the spiritual leaders themselves knew that what they experienced was real and they where sure that it was real and they did not doubt about it. And to look at it from another perspective, they had a very positive relationship to what they experienced subjectively.
And what these spiritual leaders taught to humanity is even read today by a majority of humanity and is appreciated by the readers. And this thousands of years after these spiritual leaders have died. But what about OSHO and the medical doctors of today? In 1 000 or 2 000 years, will there be still someone who is interested in what they said in the year 2024, 2024 years after Jesus Christ has been born?
