Why does the world keep falling back down despite the teachings of great spiritual leaders?

"Spiritual realization cannot be inherited; each individual must embark on their own journey, awakening anew in every life."
According to Osho, the world seems to fall back because spiritual realization is never inherited, accumulated, or transfused through society. Each person and each generation must begin anew, standing on their own feet. Even after mass awakenings, children won’t be born enlightened. Therefore no collective evolutionary curve appears; growth remains an utterly personal effort, repeated afresh in every life.
You can’t inherit enlightenment like money—each person has to learn and wake up by themselves, again and again.
Why this matters practically
- Focus on your own practice instead of relying on lineage, tradition, or heroes.
- Start where you are; take daily steps, because no one else can walk it for you.
- Teach and inspire others, but remember they must realize it themselves.
