Why do events like those described in the Puranas no longer happen?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The mythic still unfolds in our lives today; it is our cynicism and labels that blind us to the sacred patterns woven into the ordinary."
According to Osho, nothing has stopped; the mythic still unfolds now. Human nature, destiny, saints and scoundrels—everything the Puranas dramatized—continues in contemporary forms. What changed is our eye: cynicism, schooling and labels make us miss the sacred pattern inside ordinary events. Drop nostalgia and look freshly—the same play of consciousness is happening in today’s streets.
Those old-time wonders still happen today, but we miss them because we’re not looking with fresh, trusting eyes.
