What is the significance of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings?

Hiroshima and Nagasaki reveal the depths of humanity's moral collapse, urging us to transcend egoic domination and embrace compassion before technology outpaces our consciousness.

— Osho
According to Osho, Hiroshima and Nagasaki mark humanity’s moral collapse: proof that civilization hasn’t arrived and that man has fallen below even monkeys. The bombs were unnecessary militarily; they were a crude display of American power, birthing unhealed wounds and a self-perpetuating nuclear arms race. Their lesson is urgent—shift from egoic domination to compassion, sanity, and disarmament before technology outpaces consciousness.

They showed people weren’t truly civilized—deadly bombs were used just to show power, starting a dangerous race to build even worse weapons.
