Human consicousness has certainly not grown for centuries, and is unlikely to do so for centuries more. Hence my own scepticism for all Osho’s talk of the new man.
Arguably human consciousness has never grown, the actual behavioral norms now are the same as non vegetarian hunter gatherers, full of possession and murder. Closed groups dominated by “belief” systems that are magical, and hate anyone else but those in the immediate tribe.
Yes a few human beings have raised above this, but a surprisingly small number, and they could not be used as evidence for the “evolution” of the species.

Last night was the British Comedy awards…. a ceremony that recognises piss-taking for nothing else than the ability to make people laugh giggle and indulge humour in a hundred human ways…
ahemmm…

To all religionists and psycho so-called seekers, protagonists, incense burners, advaiters, , breath watchers, lovers of transformation, endless word merchants, prudes, editors of the greater good, commune builders for humanity, self indulgers/ self annihilators, merchants of tidy ikea bleached and de-constructed holy meditative soft furnished interiors, pedlars of trust and mutuality through group energy…ambitionists and power-mongerers under a different name, writers on Osho news et al; all who peddle their illusionist religious and interpersonal growthful identity endlessly …..
….you know who you all are….

well ahemmm
The day that you can make humour of a bunch of neurotics that clap fresh air over the in-sanctity of a dead guru for no-one’s benefit than their own pleasure and self righteous mania , using sarcasm, laughter , barbed comments deflationary stupidity, sabotaging of all the personal ambitions,exposing the self-improvement with comic comments, irony, wit and humour , mimickry, and every scenario from the commedia book of human game playing…..
THEN that is the day my job here on SannyasNews will be done….

and that in your terminology , me old shish kebab non-veg sannyasin,Shantam, is me living Oshoness for the benefit of humanity in a self proclaimed version of truth….

“human consciousness has not grown for many centuries…” nice quote from osho but he also left it unfinished on purpose i suppose, for us to figure out the rest . The Great Consciousness, cosmos, whatever you call it hasn’t allowed human consciousness to evolve… freedom of choice, individual freedom, all of that nonsense is just that… an illusion… things happen as they are suppose to happen, it’s all out of our hands… it’s an ego trip to think we have free will…. call “The Great Plan” or by some other name, we are just a miniscule part of it, yet one of our built in problems is that we think the universe revolves around us… I call the human species- “The Great Narcissist Species”– just proves how insane the universe is.

When the Euro Million lottery was first introduced, villagers in penny´s neighbourhood became quite ecstatic. Time had come to fullfill all their dreams. They were so sure to win that it was looking useless to wait for the draw date. Almost all of them went to the bank in the near by city to borrow the money for new house, furniture, journey etc.
Bank manager asked, surely we will borrow the money but what kind of security you will submit to the bank.
People simply took their euro million lottery ticket and told the manager to keep the original and give them a photocopy!
Pennie, i also know nature of self realization does not work that way, atleast not for those who after hundred times Dynamic and three path of love group think, it is their birth right.
Because it is so extra ordinary an event, therefore no harm to treat such people with reverance and regard.

The quotation i have just read at facebook loks relevant-
“Human consciousness has not grown for centuries. Only once in a while someone blossoms – but in millions of people, the blossoming of one person is not a rule, it is the exception. And because that person is alone, the crowd cannot tolerate him. His existence becomes a kind of humiliation; his very presence feels insulting because he opens your eyes, makes you aware of your potential and your futu…re. And it hurts your ego that you have done nothing to grow, to be more conscious, to be more loving, more ecstatic, more creative, more silent – to create a beautiful world around you.

Hence a Gautam Buddha or a Chuang Tzu hurts you because they have blossomed and you are just standing there.”

~Osho

fat chance 90 out of 100 will be self realized.. nature doesn’t work that way, not on this plane of existence, so, asking that dumb question “what will they do”? along with your persistent use of obsolete metaphors, just shows how clueless you are. Maybe in your dreams.
