Is there a possibility of being recognized or accepted by mankind during one's lifetime?

According to Osho, craving recognition or acceptance from mankind is irrelevant and spiritually distracting. He asks to be forgiven and forgotten, insisting the only real task is to remember yourself. Whether historians or the masses accept you—now or later—is none of your concern. Fame neither liberates nor helps; self-knowing does. Therefore, drop the need to be recognized and turn attention inward.
