According to Osho striving for perfection is the root cause of all neurosis. We try to be perfect, we want our partner and our children to be perfect our pets and our projects all to be perfect and in so doing we create life-long inner tension. Here Osho explains a natural way of being, a way of being in tune with nature’s imperfection.

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.

The qualities of a seeker of truth are the subject question of this talk by Osho. "Every child is born with an innate search for truth. It is not something learned or adopted later on in life. Truth simply means, 'I am, but I do not know who I am.' And the question is natural - 'I must know the reality of my being. It is not a curiosity.'"

“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 drives people like Napoleon Bonaparte, Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Silvio Berlusconi and everybody else for that matter? What do we have in common? Why this hankering for power over others?—Once again Osho has some astoundingly simple insights on the issue.

You say that love and hate are one; but I see more hate in the world than love. At the same time, you say that enlightenment is neither love nor hate. Are you speaking of two different qualities of love? How does this fit with your message of love?

Political revolutions have never resulted in the changes they promised. Real change can according to Osho only come from a personal rebellion, a rebellion based on "yes" - yes to existence, yes to nature, yes to yourself. Humanity has been guided by traditions which are all life-negative - the results of endless wars, a planet in danger and a humanity losing direction are obvious results of these traditions.

Existentialist come to the conclusion, well no there is no meaning in life so what’s the point? Osho in his genius way again looks at the question put before him from a very different point of view. See for yourself…

Este libro es a la vez una provocación y una guía para ese nuevo y refrescante comienzo. ¿Por qué las personas que son felices estando solas suelen tener mejores relaciones afectivas que las demás? El modelo de familia tradicional se está quebrando, niños de apenas diez años experimentan con el sex, la mitad de todos los matrimonios que se celebran en los países desarrollados acaban fracasando.

Every child has been conditioned not to love himself but to love others. That is impossible. Only a very deeply selfish person can be unselfish. Being self-centered is basic. A self-centered person seeks to maximize his happiness. The happier you become, the more you will seek to share that happiness with others. That is the only way to be happy.

Als anerkannte Autorität in den spirituellen Traditionen der Welt wurde Osho für seine einzigartige Fähigkeit gefeiert, uralte Weisheiten für ein zeitgenössisches Publikum neu zu beleben. Hier nimmt er den Leser mit auf eine faszinierende Reise in das Leben und die Welt von Prinz Gautam Siddhartha, dem späteren Buddha.

In diesem Buch zeigt Osho, wie man aufmerksamer, achtsamer und meditativer, mit Liebe, Fürsorge und Bewusstsein lebt.

Die Upanishaden entstanden vor etwa fünftausend Jahren und zählen zu den frühesten religiösen Texten und entstammen der vedischen Tradition, die die Entwicklung des Hinduismus stark beeinflusst hat. Osho, sagte, sie enthielten "einige der bedeutendsten Aussagen, die je irgendwo auf der Erde gemacht wurden", zeigt, wie sie Antworten auf Fragen bieten können, die Herz und Verstand jedes Einzelnen berühren. Er spricht über die Reise durchs Leben, über Liebe und Besitzgier, die Angst vor dem Tod und den Weg zur Erleuchtung und überträgt diese uralte Weisheit in die Sprache von heute.

Nur einmal in der Geschichte des menschlichen Bewusstseins, so Osho, sei etwas wie Zen entstanden. In "Zen: Seine Geschichte und Lehre" erklärt der bekannte Mystiker, dass Zen keine Rituale, keine Gesänge, keine Mantras, keine Schriften kennt–nur kurze, eindringliche Gleichnisse und Lehren, die es ideal für den modernen Suchenden machen.

Die Botschaft des Tantra bestätigt Oshos Erkenntnis, dass wir nur durch die vollkommene Akzeptanz unserer selbst wachsen können. Osho spricht über Tantra-Meditationstechniken (Loslassen und Hingabe) sowie über tantrische Liebe und Spiritualität in der Sexualität. Hier wird die Tantra-Botschaft – lebe kein unterdrücktes Leben, sonst lebst du gar nicht – für moderne Leser zugänglich und verständlich gemacht, die lernen werden, ein Leben voller Ausdruck, Kreativität und Freude zu führen.

Collana: Le opere esperienziali “Il nostro sentirci superflui e appesantiti dalla vita non è dovuto al suo essere inutile. L’esistenza è appagamento senza fine, ma noi abbiamo scordato il sentiero che conduce a quel destino. Esistiamo senza avere alcun rapporto con la vita. Questo non è vivere, ma aspettare di morire; e come può l’attesa della morte essere altro dalla noia? Come può portare felicità?

Collana: Le opere sapienziali Di fronte a un nuovo millennio e a tutte le sue contraddizioni che ripropongono all’umanità comportamenti distruttivi, rivelatori che la Storia recente nulla sembra aver insegnato, Osho suggerisce una rinascita dello Zen, preso nella sua essenza e rigenerato, in funzione del nuovo contesto occidentale con il quale l’uomo moderno deve fare i conti. A suo favore lo Zen ha ottime qualità evolutive, essendo la più alta espressione – secondo Osho – che contrappone la logica e la verità della natura alle normali pretese della pura sopravvivenza.

Collana: Le opere esperienziali La mente è un fenomeno recente, spiega Osho, giunto come lo strumento più evoluto creato dalla natura per facilitare la nostra sopravvivenza. Tuttavia, proprio la sua funzione, la rende vecchia; perché basa i suoi ragionamenti sul passato. Ed è conformista, conservatrice, sempre in ansia perché “programmata” per difendere e preservare l’organismo che la ospita. Pertanto, messa al comando diviene il problema.

Lo stato di cose nel mondo mette di fronte a una responsabilità che richiede una scelta consapevole nella gestione della propria vita. E questo cambio di passo sollecita la necessità di farsi o trovarsi degli amici sinceri, prendendo le distanze dalle tante dinamiche che spingono a creare nuovi gruppi di appartenenza, cosa che inevitabilmente riattiva conflitti tra “noi” e “loro”; nella certezza che “noi siamo sempre nel giusto”.

Die 112 Meditationstechniken stammen ursprünglisch aus einer tantrischen Tradition, die Osho in unsere Zeit überträgt und dem zeitgenössischen Zuhörer leicht zugänglich macht. Im zweiten Teil dieses Audiobuchs stellt unser „spiritueller Reiseführer“ Osho, weitere Meditationen vor und ermutigt uns mit diesen Techniken zu experimentieren.
