According to Osho, no—don’t read his words gloomily. He insists everyone can awaken; the same eyes that sleep can also wake, the same eyes that cry can laugh. His whole effort is to kindle hope, not pessimism. With a little effort, the hour of collective awakening will come, and then he will laugh—because he trusts your capacity and calls you vibrant, talented sannyasins.
No—he believes everyone can wake up, so one day he’ll laugh with us; don’t be gloomy, just keep trying.
