I am not interested in any ideal society. Please drop that dream; it has created great nightmares in the world. Remember, nothing can happen now politically. Politics is dead. Whatever you vote, right or left, do it without illusions. It is necessary to renounce the idea that any system can be a savior. No system can be a savior — communism, fascism, Gandhism. No society can save you, and no society can be an ideal society. And there is no savior — Christ, Krishna or Rama. You have just to drop that nonsense that you are carrying about guilt and your being a sinner.
Put your whole energy into dancing, celebrating. And then you are ideal, here and now — not that you have to become ideal.Ideology, as such, has lost its truth. In fact it was never there in the first place. And the power to persuade also is gone. Few serious minds believe any longer that one can set down blueprints, and through social engineering bring about a new utopia of social harmony. We are living in the age of utter freedom. We have come of age. Humanity is no longer childish, it is more mature. We are living in a very Socratic period, because people are asking all the important questions of life. Don’t start hankering and longing for some future ideal, idea, perfection. Drop all ideals and live here-now.
My commune is not going to be an ideal society. My commune is going to be a herenow commune.
Enough for today.Osho.
