Osho, when I hear you speaking of your vision
I can't help but feel that those few daring people around you will live to experience the new man
but it feels more like a hundred years away
before man at large will come to see and live the genius of your ways is this true
it is true even if it happens
in 100 years time it will be too soon
but the question
is significant in a totally different way
it is not the realization of the vision
the coming of the new man a new humanity
that will come in its own time
the more important thing is
to be able to visualize it
everything great that has happened in the world
first has been an idea sometimes it took hundreds of years for it to become a reality
but the joy
of having a vision
an insight into the future is immense
the people who are with me should rejoice
that they can see a possibility
of the old rotten world disappearing
and a new fresh human being taking its place just the vision
will change you at least
will shift to your
being from the past
to the future
in a certain way you will start living the new man who has not come yet
you will start living the new man in a small ways
and each movement of that living will be a blessing
and as you become acquainted within yourself of the explosion of the new
and the destruction of the old
you are changing you are going through a revolution
i am interested in you
who cares about
what is going to happen after 100 years
something must be happening
but it is not our business
and when i talk about the new man i am really talking about you to become aware
of the possibility because that very awareness will change you i am not interested in future
i am simply interested in the immediate present
future will go on
for eternity
but if your mind can be cleaned of the past rabbis
and if you can see
the far away rising sun
i am not interested in the sun i am interested in your vision
in your capacity to see in your understanding
in your hope that it is possible
that very hope will become a seed in you
the new man will come whenever
it has to come
but the new vision can come right now and with the new vision you participate in a subtle way
with the man who has not come yet with the humanity whose is still
in the womb you start having a synchronicity
a certain relationship
your roots from the past start dropping and you start growing your roots into the future
but my interest i repeat is basically
is in you
neither i am interested in the past nor in the future i talk about the past so that you can get
rid of it or talk about the future so that you can remain open to it
but you are the point
of my emphasis
