According to Osho, America is a spiritually immature 'new' nation without deep roots; its materialist myth hides poverty and psychological slavery, while politicians fear meditation’s anti-war clarity and priests peddle substitute religion that conditions children. These forces suppress authentic search, so fewer Americans take sannyas—for now; with time and deconditioning, its vast potential can flower.
America is still growing up and kept busy and confused by money, politics, and fake religion, so few people look inward yet.
