Osho's perspective on Youth Revolt

What factors contribute to the Western youth revolt and the interest in Eastern religion and philosophy among young people?

 outcome

"The revolt of Western youth is a natural response to the suffocating rationality of modern life, seeking the freedom of the irrational and the depth of experience found in Eastern philosophies. In the face of affluence and boredom, they turn to meditation and spirituality as a path to true balance and awakening"
