Did people once live as a family, or is it a mystic vision?

definition
"The vision of humanity as one family is not a distant dream but a potential within each of us, waiting to be awakened through our own inner transformation."
According to Osho, no human society has ever truly lived as one family; 'vasudhaiva kutumbakam' is a mystic vision that remained unrealized because people idolize mystics to avoid inner transformation, creating distance with myths and miracles. The way forward is to drop worship, see mystics as ordinary realizers, and awaken the same potential within to actualize this vision.
It’s never happened yet; we make saints special instead of changing ourselves, but if we stop worshiping and grow inside, treating everyone like family can become real.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts focus from idolizing gurus to practicing personal transformation.
- Encourages seeing everyone’s shared potential, reducing conflict at home and beyond.
- Promotes practical steps: drop miracle-seeking, relate authentically, act lovingly daily.
