According to Osho, civilization benefits man by intensifying dissatisfaction: it fulfills body and mind needs, exposes the absurdity and misery produced by the mind (even through disease and near-madness), and thereby compels a search for meaning beyond comfort—toward meditation, sannyas, and the religious. As needs ascend—body, mind, spirit—civilization and culture ripen into a yearning for the divine; only then can true contentment arise.
Civilization makes us so comfortable and then so unhappy that we finally look inside for real peace.
