What is history?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"History is merely the cyclic repetition of human folly, while true enlightenment transcends time, existing beyond the records of the past."
According to Osho, history is time: a record of the repeatable, the average, and the cyclic stupidity of the human mind—wars, conquerors, the wheel turning again and again. What truly matters—enlightenment, inner transformation—is beyond time and cannot be proved or recorded. Buddhas are unique, unrepeatable, outside history’s scope; trusting them opens a door for your own awakening.
History is a time-book of repeatable events and mistakes, while the deepest truths happen inside you, beyond clocks and proof.
