Osho, is the world going to survive the third world war?
Cup of Tea (125): “One day the sky was filled with the clouds of war –”
Osho answers in an interview to Deva Bhaskar, Correio Braziliense, Brasília, Brazil.
On July 20, 1970 Osho began the Hindi discourse series Krishna: Meri Drishti Mein (कृष्ण : मेरी दृष्टि में) (Krishna: The Man and His Philosophy) at C.C.I. Chambers in Mumbai.
Osho speaks on war in Afghanistan and in particular on the Pakhtoon people, and about the role of the Americans and opening up of the then Soviet Union.
Osho declares, “If we examine the course of human thinking in the last 300 years, we find a steep increase in doctrines of humanity and justice. But never, in all the history of the world, has mankind indulged in such terrible warfares or committed such heinous atrocities.”
Osho speaks about the Great Indian War – Mahabharata – and explains the significance of the four ages: sat yuga, treta yuga, dwapar and kali yuga.
Osho speaks on ‘peace of mind’ and asserts that to be against anything is to be at war. “Peace is very alive. Peace is more alive than war – because war is in the service of death, peace is in the service of life.”
“These people who are in power are almost on the brink of destroying the world, rather than lose their power. “
“So if this earth disappears, people will be moving to different planets according to their growth, according to whatever is needed for them to grow more,” says Osho.
Q: Beloved Osho, What is this undercurrent of giggling in my heart every time I feel that you are using the whole world as a device for our growth, and that you are using us as a device for the whole world? Would you please comment?
During three thousand years, fifteen thousand wars have been fought. Fifteen thousand wars in three thousand years?
Osho talks on ‘War’
Beloved Osho,
What do you say about the third world war? Is it going to happen or not? What should we do to prevent it?
If the world becomes a little more conscious, soldiers will throw away their arms and hug each other, sit down together under a tree and gossip.
If the whole history of the world were condensed into one year, with us standing at the end of that vast year, it would look something like this: The earth is formed on the first of January. It is only in December that the continents start drifting into their present position. The dinosaurs become extinct
