His words were that of a true saint. But his community, the attempted murders, excessively collecting 93 Rolls Royces, being addicted to Nitrous Oxide, and other activities of his organization do not qualify him for sainthood.
For example:
In Oregon, top aides of Osho were charged with a number of crimes, including the attempted murder of Osho's personal physician. There were stories of a hit list. Some fled the country for Switzerland where they had control over the group's bank accounts. Two were eventually convicted of conspiracy to murder local lawyer Charles Turner in an attempt to prevent closure of the ranch they were living on.
Spiritual devotees of Rajneesh had spread salmonella on a local restaurant's salad bar to reduce voter turnout on a law that would have restricted the group's activities. Allegedly, 751 people were affected by the bacteria.

Yet I have never been able to find fault with his words and the meaning behind them. Because they are true and beautiful. He was the messenger but not the message.
