Why is there a need to proclaim a new tradition instead of perpetuating the old?

To keep the timeless truth alive, we must renew the bottle, for only then can the same wine be tasted anew by each generation.

— Osho
According to Osho, proclaiming a new tradition is the only way to truly perpetuate the old: timeless truth is one, but every age needs fresh language, forms, and methods so it can be rediscovered and lived. Clinging to yesterday’s expressions makes it dead; renewing the 'bottle' keeps the same 'wine' alive, relevant, and powerful for contemporary minds.

Truth is like old juice; each generation needs a fresh cup so they can actually drink it.
