Osho on Why do events like those described in the Puranas no longer happen?

Why do events like those described in the Puranas no longer happen?

The mythic still unfolds in our lives today; it is our cynicism and labels that blind us to the sacred patterns woven into the ordinary.

— Osho
According to Osho, nothing has stopped; the mythic still unfolds now. Human nature, destiny, saints and scoundrels—everything the Puranas dramatized—continues in contemporary forms. What changed is our eye: cynicism, schooling and labels make us miss the sacred pattern inside ordinary events. Drop nostalgia and look freshly—the same play of consciousness is happening in today’s streets.

Those old-time wonders still happen today, but we miss them because we’re not looking with fresh, trusting eyes.
