Core Insight:
According to Osho, the slide from Satya Yuga to Kali Yuga mirrors a person’s journey from innocent childhood to jaded old age: society loses guilelessness and non-division, and accumulative cleverness, calculation, and dishonesty ascend. Intellect dethrones the heart—poetry yields to numbers—so outer progress grows while inner bliss withers. Hence it’s decline, not development; true measure is preserved joy, not machines, data, or reach.
