According to Osho, 'the new being victorious' means the living truth and a fresh consciousness inevitably prevail over fear, imitation and power. His message is 'fire' that reaches hearts even when stolen or censored; it exposes mediocrity, topples pretenses, and draws seekers back to the source. Thus, despite resistance from institutions or plagiarists, the new intelligence outshines the old and wins.
Real truth is like a fire: even if people copy it or try to hide it, it still spreads and leads people back to where it began.
From the Discourses
Passages where Osho speaks to this question — each links to the complete discourse.
My concept of the new man is that he will be Zorba the Greek and he will also be Gautam the Buddha: the new man will be Zorba the Buddha. He will be sensuous and spiritual, physical, utterly physical, in the body, in the senses, enjoying the body and all that the body makes possible, and still a great consciousness, a great witnessing will be there. He will be Christ and Epicurus together. The old man's ideal was renunciation; the new man's ideal will be rejoicing. And this new man is coming every day, he is arriving every day. People have not yet become aware of him. In fact he has already dawned. The old is dying, the old is on its death-bed. I don't mourn for it and I say please don't mourn for it.
Osho, what according to you is the most significant thing that is happening today in the world?
The new man will have no use for sham, facade or pretense, he will be true, because only through truth is there liberation. All lies create bondages. Tell a single lie and you will have to tell a thousand and one to defend it -- you will have to tell lies AD NAT(SEAM. Then there is no end to it. A single lie sooner or later will spread all over your being. It is like cancer. Be truthful and you need not hide, you can be open. Be truthful and you need not protect yourself against existence, you can be vulnerable. In that vulnerability existence penetrates you, God reaches your heart. Tell a lie and you are afraid. You will be afraid of God too, you will be afraid of facing him. You will be afraid of facing yourself. You will be continuously escaping from yourself, from others, from God.…
Osho, the twenty-one-day ritual you have hinted at—was that practice or elemental realization in any way traditional? Because from your mode of expression it continually seems that you surely represent some teacher’s or Tirthankara’s method. Within this I also want to dare to ask: do you want to add a link to some established spiritual lineage, or, like Buddha, are you attempting to cut a new path through the mountains?
Nor is the issue one of tolerance. It is a matter of sky-like spaciousness, not tolerance. Not mere forbearance. Not that a Hindu “puts up with” a Muslim or a Christian “puts up with” a Jain. Forbearance already holds violence within it. I do not say the Quran and the Gita say the same thing. The Quran says something quite different; it has its own individual voice—that is its greatness. If it only repeated what the Gita says, it would be worth two pennies. The Bible says something else again, which neither the Gita nor the Quran says. Each has its own voice. Mahavira does not say what Buddha says; they say very different things. And yet from these differing statements one ultimately arrives at the same place. My emphasis is on the oneness of the destination, not on the oneness of the paths. My emphasis is that in the…
Osho, what new thing did Mahavira give us? Talk of love has been going on since the human race began.
Rabindranath wrote of an old man, a friend of his father’s, who lived next door and often came to their house. He troubled Rabindranath a great deal. Whenever Rabindranath wrote poems about God, the soul, the Supreme, the old man would laugh, grab his hand and shake it, and ask, “Have you experienced it? Have you seen God?” He would laugh so heartily that Rabindranath says he began to fear him. If he saw him on the street he would slip away, because the man would catch him there and ask, “Have you experienced God? Have you seen God?” And he did not have the courage to say yes. Truly, what experience had he had? He was writing poems. The man pestered him so much. But one day—it was the rainy season—he had gone out toward the sea. The sun had come out; it was morning. The sun’s reflection was…
Osho, what message do you have for the world symposium on humanity?
A great meeting I teach: the meeting of Zorba and Buddha. I teach ZORBA THE BUDDHA -- a new synthesis. The meeting of the earth and the sky, the meeting of the visible and the invisible, the meeting of all the polarities -- of man and woman, of day and night, of summer and winter, of sex and samadhi. Only in that meeting will a new man arrive on the earth. My sannyasins, my people, are the first rays of that new man, of that HOMO NOVUS. The inner division has led humanity into a state of suicide. It has created only slaves -- and slaves CAN'T really live, they have nothing to live for. They are living for others. They have been reduced to machines -- skillful, efficient, but a machine is a machine. And the machine cannot have the joy of living. It cannot celebrate, it can only…
