Needs of Cactus in Osho's Garden

Ma Antar Veena, enlightenment is only for ordinary people; natural and ordinary people. Who told you that well-known and famous people would get enlightenment? They will never get it. They can never get it. However, even they are needed.
Osho has described in one lecture that the commune I am forming, the garden that I am cultivating; just think, in this garden even cactus has to be put. Within it, there will be plants, there will be flowers, there will be fruits, and all the same, outside on the fence cactus will have to be planted. Otherwise, who will safeguard the boundary?
These administrators, politicians, who are exploiters, hoarders of wealth and consumed with the greed for power, are necessary. God has not created anyone who is not needed. The Master does only this much; utilizes everybody who comes to him. Osho has also done the same thing.
Those whom you are referring to as ordinary sannyasin, only they present some hope that their flower of enlightenment will blossom. Those who are extraordinary and uncommon, they are full of ego. They are plants of cactus, full of thorns; they will only prick and that is their purpose.
I am not belittling them; I am just stating the fact. They are very useful. How will institutions operate without them? How will money be generated without them? Without them, how will ashrams and centers rise?
These people are very necessary. Thank them! Fill with gratitude! Be grateful to them! And go deep into your ordinary and natural being. The flower of enlightenment blossoms only within ordinary people.
The flower of enlightenment cannot reach up to its full bloom in those egoistic people who think themselves to be extraordinary in any way. Their being is like a thorn. Be compassionate toward them! While they are useful to others; they remain deprived of their own worth..
