The West has taken to meditation with great enthusiasm. We contemplate. We concentrate. We embrace mindfulness techniques and a multitude of mantras. We have undertaken to “do” meditation. The Aspects of Meditation series is comprised of brief, precious texts in which Osho shows us the core of meditation is not about sitting silently or chanting a mantra. It is, instead, a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. In Book 4, Osho examines health and illness, disease and well-being as outgrowths of our sense of self and connection to our mind.

Di fronte a un mondo in perenne e vorticoso cambiamento, dove il mutamento sembra l'unica certezza e i valori di un tempo non rappresentano più un faro cui rivolgersi, è facile lasciarsi sopraffare dalla paura. Il problema, per Osho, non è la paura in se stessa ma l'esserne posseduti, e perché ciò non accada esiste un unico rimedio: vivere pericolosamente, che nella visione dell'autore significa abbracciare tutte le sfide che la vita ci offre, lasciando cadere gli strati con i quali ci proteggiamo.

Osho es conocido como una de las figuras más provocadoras de nuestro tiempo. Este libro, compuesto de una selección de sus intempestivos discursos, nos presenta una visión general de los conceptos clave del ideal de «vivir peligrosamente». Crítico con las religiones tradicionales y sus normas y doctrinas, que imponen una «esclavitud psicológica», su ideario pone énfasis en la responsabilidad personal y la libertad. Su misión, según él, era conseguir que regresaran a la vida aquellos que vivían como si estuvieran muertos.

In this talk, Osho answers questions about caring, compassion and service to the community. He also speaks about self-acceptance and awareness as transformative tools.

In the ordinary course, being “out of your mind” is not a positive statement being associated with a person who is out of control and not able to take care of himself, perhaps even harmful to others.

With modern media, there is an impression that this world is becoming more chaotic than ever before. However, according to Osho’s understanding, the world has not changed but remains the same: upside down, crazy, insane. The fact that in the last 3,000 years humanity has fought 5,000 wars is evidence enough but what has changed is an awareness that we are crazy, that something is basically wrong with humanity.

Service to the poor is embraced by charities all over the world and here Osho exposes this model as one that makes the givers feel good – if not less guilty - about themselves while giving only a temporary respite to the poor and downtrodden.

At this time, the beginning of the 21st century, times seem desperate and many call for revolution, even if nobody has a clear idea of the outcome?

At one time or another everybody feels misunderstood and or misunderstands another. The idiosyncrasies inherent in language is one of the reasons why there is so much misunderstanding in the world. Osho has a unique proposal – communication through silence. He points out that there is no misunderstanding between animals and or trees or birds, because language does not exist in those realms. So instead of language why not communicate in love, in silence.

“You are miserable because you have decided to be miserable” – hard words and difficult so see let alone to admit, that our misery is self-created, a strategy, something that we unconsciously cultivate because it works for us; it all allows us to avoid responsibility. And if we are willing to face it and to take responsibility for our misery we are freed from it. As simple as that.

What is love? Everyone will have a different notion of what love is. In this talk Osho says that love has become the rarest of rare and speaks of learning how to grow love, how to create a climate of love, of gratitude and thankfulness. Learn how to grow love, to overflow with love, to give love rather than living in need masquerading as love. Instead, prepare the ground for love as a natural functioning.

There are three kinds of problems - those that you create – they are almost ninety per cent of the problems of your life. You create them and you go on saying that you don’t want them. Ninety per cent of the problems simply disappear when you are in a meditative state – because you can see. And by seeing, you stop creating them. Ninety per cent will be solved; nine per cent will not be solved by your meditation but will be dissolved because they will not concern you at all.

Here Osho exposes the belief in God as a mere projection of the mind, a game we play with ourselves in order to avoid responsibility. We do according to god rather than being according to our self. So long as god is we are not. So long as god decides we don’t. Only by seeing the trap of our belief in god are we free from god and free to be ourselves.

Yadi aap jivan me atma-kranti chahte hai to apani sari bhulo ka, apni samasyao ka uttardayitva lo. Dusro par dosh madhne se kuch hasil na hoga. Manovigyan aur dharm me yahi phark hai. Manovigyan apani manasikta ke liye dusre ko doshi manta hai, aur dharm svayam ko. Pashchim ahamkar ko majbut karta hai aur purab ahankar ko mitata hai. Yadi tum jimmedar ho to hi vikas ki sambhavna banti hai.

Shubh ko aksar ek naitik karm samajha jata hai lekin Osho kahte hai ki shubh koi krutya nahi hai, acharan nahi, bhav hai. Jo karne se tumhe anand milta hai vah tumhare liye shubh hai. Isaliye apna chand khojo, apna anand khojo.Vahi shubh hai.

Shraddha ka sutra jivan me sari sambhavnao ko apne me liye hai. Aamtaur se log sochte hain ki shraddhalu vyakti kamjor hota hai. Bilakul galat baat hai. Shraddhalu hi shaktishali hai, buddhivadi kamjor hota hai kyoki vah har bat ka praman mangta hai.

Paramatma nikat me jana jata hai. Nikat ko pahachanne ka marg hai prem. Anuman nahi, tark nahi, jab prem me doobkar tumhara hriday geet gungunata hai tab tum paramatma ka anubhav karte ho. Paramatma anuman nahi, prem ki pratiti hai.

Osho prem ki gahri paribhasha karte hai jo samanya paribhasha se bilakul alag hai. Prem ek gahri shvas hai, atma aur paramatma ke bich ka jod. Prem ki tarange jab bahti hai tab ham astitva se judte hai, usii me apne hone ka pata chalta hai. Isliye prem se gahri dusari koi anubhuti nahi.
