Osho's vision of the "The New Man" is a profound reimagining of human potential, where an individual transcends conventional divisions of mind, body, and spirit. This New Man is free from societal conditioning, breaking away from the rigid structures of religion, politics, and traditional morality. For Osho, the New Man is neither a follower nor a conformist; instead, they are a creator someone who shapes life from their own inner consciousness, not from imposed norms.
This new being embraces all aspects of existence-celebrating life, enjoying its beauty, while diving deep into meditation and self-awareness. The New Man integrates the material and the spiritual effortlessly, without the need for renunciation or indulgence. Osho says that the New Man would herald the birth of a new humanity, one that is neither past-oriented nor future-bound. Living in the present, this being is spontaneous, creative, and fully alive, moving beyond dualities like success and failure, good and bad. Through this conscious living, the New Man redefines the very structure of society, creating a world where inner freedom and external harmony coexist in dynamic balance.

Nuclear weapons and all destructive measures are a preparation for a global suicide. The old man has decided to die. It is up to the intelligent people in the world to disconnect from the old man before he destroys you too.
The new man is not an improvement upon the old; he is not a continuous phenomenon, not a refinement. The new man is the declaration of the death of the old, and the birth of an absolutely fresh man-unconditioned, without any nation, without any religion. without any discrimination of men and women, of black and white. of East and West, or North and South.
The new man is a manifesto of one humanity. It is the greatest revolution the world has ever seen.
