"They were very much angry with Buddha and Mahavira because they were the two persons in India particularly who started a totally new tradition, a new beginning-because they all started talking the language of the people. The Brahmins could not forgive them; they destroyed their whole mystery. They were creating much noise with their Sanskrit chanting. If translated, it looks absolutely meaningless; there is not much in it. Ninety-nine percent of their Sanskrit mantras are just ordinary; it is very rare to find a real diamond.

Buddha spoke the language of the people, he discarded Sanskrit and chose Pali, which was the language of the people. Mahavira chose Prakrit, the language of the people. The same was done by Jesus Christ, and the Rabbis were not happy. Hebrew is the divine language of the people, and Jesus started speaking the language of the people, Aramaic.
That means you are demystifying. And if people start understanding each and everything, then how will you create fear in them? They have to be kept afraid."

Osho
