definition
"When we release our grip on the past and stop pedaling our suffering, we open ourselves to the dawn of the New Man, where life, love, and laughter await."
According to Osho, optimism about the New Man is natural because existence evolves forward, and he senses an imminent dawn of consciousness—the horizon already red, birds singing, flowers opening. Pessimism comes from fixation on the past and addiction to self-created misery. By dropping backward-looking identities and ceasing to 'pedal' suffering, we become available to life, love, and laughter—allowing the New Man to appear.
He feels a new, brighter way of living is about to begin if we stop clinging to the past and stop making our own misery.
