What will happen to progeny if everyone experiences samadhi and becomes established in brahmacharya?

A friend has asked: Osho, if sex departs in this way, what will happen to progeny in the world? If, in this way, everyone experiences samadhi and becomes established in brahmacharya, what will happen to children?

Through brahmacharya, too, children will come—but they will not be by-products of sex. For those children, sex will be a vehicle, a mere medium. Sex itself will have no other role. As when a man travels somewhere in a bullock cart—does he have any real concern with the cart? Or he flies by airplane—do you have any bond with the plane? You board here and land in Delhi. Do you have any relationship to the airplane? None. Your relationship is with going to Delhi. The airplane is only a vehicle, only a means. When people attain to brahmacharya and the journey of intercourse reaches samadhi, they can still desire children. But the birth of those children will be true creation; they will be the product, the srijan, the creative act. Sex will be only the medium. And in the same way that until now we have tried—listen carefully—to avoid children…

Another friend is afraid of what might happen to our progeny, to our whole race, if we drop sex like this. "If everyone attains celibacy through samadhi," he asks, "what about the future generation?" One can definitely state that the kind of children now being produced won't exist. The present manner of procreation is fine for producing cats, dogs and other animals, but it is not good enough for man. What kind of attitude to procreation is this? What kind of thoughtless production of children is this? This sort of mass, accidental procreation is aimless; it is useless. And how vast our crowd has become! Our population has exploded to such incredible proportions that if it is not checked in time, scientists say there will not even be room to move your toes in a hundred years!

Maitreya has asked: But won’t this bring in authoritarianism!

We cling to words. If we want to stay alive, we will have to act with some intelligence; and if we want to make life beautiful, we will have to act with a great deal of intelligence. There is no need to get trapped in a web of words. Decisions should now be in the hands of experts—who can have children, and with whom they can have children. And now we have the means. There is no need that you father a child only with your own wife, or that your wife conceive only from you. Drop these old, foolish notions. Your child should be beautiful. Your child should be intelligent. Your child should be such that a lotus blossoms. Care about that. You don’t care about that at all; your only concern is that the child be from “my woman,” from “my husband.” And now there is so much…

There are many questions before me. First of all, it has been asked that what I say appears impractical.

By appearing at my door today, you have made it clear that Christ must have been— and that, hanging on the cross, he must have said, ‘Forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ You have made me a Christian.” Gandhi returned, but that man was transformed; he became a different man. Surely, no “practical” man would agree to act in such a way. But the world moves forward because of those who are willing to be a little impractical. And the world falls into pits every day because of those whom we call practical. You will be doing a great kindness—to yourself and to others—if you move a little away from your practicality and dare to be a little impractical. Remember: a small effort to be impractical can bring revolution to life. So what I am saying concerns the fundamental sutras of life; there is nothing impractical in…

Osho, if parents meditate before conception and during pregnancy, what effect does it have on the child?

And if, for the full nine months, the mother carries the child in meditation—does nothing contrary to meditation, and does everything that supports meditation—then certainly, in these nine months, a Buddha can be born. These nine months are the formative moments of the child. And in these nine months let him have only the experience of love, of peace, of light. If in these nine months he has only one experience—the experience of his own inner power—then at birth he will not be an ordinary child; he will be extraordinary. We will have laid the foundation of his life, and the temple that rises on that foundation cannot be different from it. Therefore whenever parents come to me with complaints about their children, I have told them: you may feel hurt, but you are responsible. You must have laid the wrong foundation. Today your child is a bandit; today your…
