definition
"True scripture is timeless and revolutionary; it is the traditions around it that grow stale and need to be refreshed."
According to Osho, there’s a revival of ancient scriptures because true scripture is timeless and revolutionary; only the traditions around it grow stale. As misunderstandings gather like dust, living masters must repeatedly “wipe the mirror,” breaking tradition while saving the scripture, separating the seer’s diamond from later accretions. Revival restores the ever‑fresh essence, not the fossilized forms.
Old holy books come alive again when someone cleans off the dust of old habits and shows the shiny truth inside.
