It was yesterday — or perhaps 50 years ago — when Osho, the Enlightened Mystic, made a prophecy that now feels chillingly accurate. He foresaw that the next fifty years would be a turning point in human history. On one side, he said, there would be madly destructive politicians. On the other, just a handful of meditators who might create a force of balance. Without a widespread meditation movement, the world would spiral toward ruin.
He also urged India to rise to its spiritual responsibility — to become a balancing force in a deeply fractured world.
Look at where we stand today.
A neurotic President Trump threatens India: join his camp, or face consequences. Those who oppose him issue the same ultimatum — pick a side, or be treated as an enemy. Both sides are driven by dangerous, divisive politics. China cannot be trusted. Russia wavers unpredictably. The political insanity is unprecedented.
And as if that weren’t enough, nature herself has begun to rebel — furious and unforgiving. Global warming intensifies. Polar ice melts. Coastal cities inch closer to devastation by flood. The signs are all around us.
Osho foresaw this. In several of his talks, he warned:
“A few years after 1984, there’s going to be no world — or quite a different world. And I am working for a different world to exist.”
Yet the tragedy remains: few listened. Fewer still acted. And so, the world continues hurtling toward destruction.
The situation is grave. The time to act is NOW.
Meditate. Reflect. Wake up.
Save yourself — and perhaps the world — from madness.
