According to Osho, humanity moves toward global suicide because growing numbers have become intelligent enough to see their conventional lives as hollow, repetitive, and devoid of meaning; despair replaces purpose, making destruction seem logical. Lacking meditation, intelligence turns to madness or suicide. Meditation can transmute this meaninglessness into beauty, benediction, and a reverence for life, reversing the suicidal drift.
When people feel life is empty, they want to quit—but meditation can give life meaning again so we stop hurting ourselves and the world.
