"All the religions of the world, without exceptation, have given man ideals which are superhuman. They satisfy the ego. You would like to be a superhuan meing, but you are meant only to be human being. Even if the rose wants to become a lotus, the desire is going to be tremendous frustration, because the potential of the rose is to be a rose. How can it be a lotus?
But all the reigions, in every possible way, have been giving you ideals far above humanity. The only result is that, trying to be superhuman, you miss being human. Rather than reaching the superhuman level, making that stupid effort you fall below the human level itself- you become subhuman."
Osho "From unconsciousness to Consciousness"
