Each child comes with a tremendous intelligence but the family makes him mediocre, because to live with an intelligent child is troublesome. He doubts, he is skeptical, he inquires, he is disobedient, he is rebellious - and the family wants somebody who is obedient, ready to follow, imitate.

The family does not help the child to inquire; it gives beliefs and beliefs are poisons. Once the child becomes burdened with beliefs his inqury is cripled, paralysed, his wings are cut. By the time he is able to inquire he will be so conditioned that he will move into every investigation with a certain prejudice - and with prejudice your enquiry is not authentic. You are already carrying a priori conclusion; you are simply looking for proofs to support your unconscious conclusion. You become incapable of discovering the truth.
That's the reason why there are so few budhas in the world: the root cause is the family. Otherwise every child is born a buddha, comes with the potential to reach the ultimate consciousness, to discover the truth, to live a life of bliss. But the family destroys all these dimensions; it makes him utterly flat.
Great reasoning here . U hit a perfect note why there are no budhhas left in this world . But the real one will cut all the ropes in search of truth . As people have shown before also like Swami Vivekananda. You'll see that we have circles of poisonous weeds around , family , neighbourhood , society , state , nation .... All borders creating more illusions & make it extremly tough to pass through & get the truth in its rarest & purest form
Ninety-nine point nine percent of people can becme buddhas - just the family has to disappear. Otherwise there will be Christians and Mohammeds and Hindus and Jains and Buddhists; but not Buddhas, not Mahaviras, not Mohammeds; that will not be possible. Mohammed rebelled against his background, Buddha rebelled against his background, Jesus rebelled against his background. These are all rebels - and the family is absolutely against the rebellious spirit. - Osho
