Ask Osho!

How close are we to finding two hundred enlightened people who can nullify the forces that could start a third world war?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Sometimes, the greatest gift to humanity is not to prevent destruction, but to allow it to cleanse the past and give birth to a new beginning."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, we are very close to gathering the two hundred enlightened people capable of nullifying a third world war. Yet he provocatively questions whether preventing it serves existence at all, suggesting a planetary reset might free humanity from its poisoned past. He envisions safeguarding a small, natural community on a remote island, then seeding a fresh, borderless world after the conflict.
He’s almost found 200 truly wise people, but wonders if stopping the big war helps, and thinks maybe we should save a few and start the world fresh.
Why this matters practically
- Clarify your aim: preserve the old or create the new, then act accordingly.
- Invest in inner awakening and resilient communities over propping up dead institutions.
- Stay flexible and non-attached to prepare for radical change.
