“The most important need of humanity today is to be made aware that its past has betrayed it. There is no point in continuing the past, it will be suicidal; a new humanity is absolutely and urgently needed. The new humanity will not be a society in the old sense where individuals are only parts of it.

“The new humanity will be a meeting of individuals, where individuals are the masters and the society is to serve them. It will have many different aspects to it. It will not have so many religions; it will have only a religious consciousness. It will not have a despot God as a creator because that implies slavery of man. It will have godliness as a quality of ultimate achievement, a quality of enlightenment. Godliness will be spread all over, in everything, in every being.

“The individual, for the first time, will not be programmed; he will be helped to be himself. He will not be given any ideals, any discipline, any certain pattern. He will be given only a tremendous love for freedom so that he can sacrifice everything, even his own life, but he cannot sacrifice freedom. The new individual will not be repressive. He will be natural, with no inhibitions; expressive of everything that he has. Just the way plants express themselves in different colors, in different flowers, in different fragrances, each individual will be doing the same.” Osho
