What is the relationship between individuals and society, and how can they help each other to evolve?

definition
"When individuals awaken to their authentic humanity, love transcends law, and society transforms into a nurturing ground for evolution rather than a prison of power."
According to Osho, society—with its laws and institutions—is an artificial device to manage humanity’s in‑between, chaotic state. Power structures preserve themselves by preventing individual growth. When individuals awaken into authentic humanity, love replaces law and society as we know it dissolves. The only real cooperation is: stop obstructing inner evolution and create conditions where needs are met and greed curtailed, so coercive systems become unnecessary.
We have rules because we aren’t fully wise yet; if each person becomes loving and aware, we won’t need rules—and the rule‑makers should stop blocking growth and help everyone have enough.
Why this matters practically
- Prioritize inner awareness and love over blind obedience to rules.
- Question institutions that trade on fear and hinder growth.
- Support fairness and reduce greed/inequality to remove roots of crime.
