What is the significance of time being elastic?

In the face of an elastic time, urgency becomes a catalyst for transformation, compelling us to awaken to our responsibility and embrace immediate change rather than waiting for gradual evolution.

— Osho
According to Osho, time is elastic: once seemingly endless, it now contracts under the nuclear crisis into a brief, decisive window. This compression heightens urgency, making postponement suicidal yet ripening humanity for a leap in consciousness. Under intense pressure, transformation becomes most probable—compelling immediate awareness, responsibility, and inner change rather than trusting gradual historical evolution.

Time stretches or shrinks with our situation; today it’s shrunken, so we must wake up and change now.
