No society wants you to become wise; it is against the investment of all societies. If they are intelligent, they cannot be exploited; they cannot be subjugated; they cannot be forced into a mechanical life to live like robots. Instead, they will assert their individuality. They will have the fragrance of rebellion, and they would like to live in freedom; freedom comes with wisdom, and no society wants people to be wise – the Communist society, the Capitalist society, the Fascist society, the Hindu, the Christian, the Mohammedan. No society would like people to use their own intelligence because the moment they start using their intelligence they become dangerous to the establishment, dangerous to the Churches, dangerous to the States, dangerous to the people who are in power, dangerous to all kinds of oppression, suppression, exploitation. In fact, a wise man is a fire, a live flame. He would rather die than to be enslaved. //Osho
