You were asking for responses to your “The Final Call” and I did not want to react but rather respond, so time was given for the response to crystallize...
From New York to New Delhi, loneliness is increasingly becoming a regular phenomenon. It is becoming a new lifestyle. Most of the flats in an urban setting are occupied by only one member...
Yes, you have to come to terms with your loneliness, so much so that the loneliness is transformed into aloneness. Only then will you be capable of moving into a deep enriching relationship. Only then will you be able to move into love. What do I mean when I say that one has to come to terms with one's loneliness, so much so that it becomes aloneness...
MAN HAS ALWAYS FELT LONELY, because man basically IS alone. We are born alone, and we will die alone. And in the middle we can only pretend to be together. Aloneness remains unaffected. It becomes an undercurrent, it goes underground...
In the present day world loneliness is becoming an epidemic of vast proportions. People seem to find empty moments consuming their life energy. They often find themselves sliding into isolation or depression. The ironical fact is: we are using technology more than ever before to connect and communicate and...
I have heard that in the beginning of the world, God was feeling very lonely as he had no fun in his life. Just being and being and being could not be interesting even for God. So he thought of getting into some creativity and doing something--and the first thing he did was that he created Adam. In his own image...
At a very tender age, something happened that I now understand was a very important step for my future inner development. I was placed in a frog-legged position in plaster cast from hips to thighs because my hip joints hadn’t fully formed at the time of birth. My mother used to tell me that from that day...
This is a subject close to my heart, very personal to me and at the core of things for as long as I can remember. And I have a couple perspectives to offer...
A damp snow falls across the English fields outside my room obliterating distinctions. Inside i stoke the cooking range and put potatoes in the oven. Who know what magic and what mysteries these years with Osho have accomplished...
I had a miserable childhood. Loneliness dogged me. An only child brought up in India during the Raj by an autocratic polo-playing father and an aloof mother who spent most of her time playing bridge at the club...
A great king was very much afraid of death, afraid of being assassinated by his own prime minister, by his own sons, by his own army. He made a beautiful palace with no windows, no doors...
Love gives pleasure and pain too. What does Tantra propose about it?
There is a beautiful meditation from the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra which says; "Oh Beloved, put attention neither on pleasure nor on pain, but between these. It is a basic fact that if we explore the world of duality very deeply, we find that there is a place where dualities meet. I call this meeting point, the creation principle, or the god principle. We are challenged to live duality very fully, and once we know both sides, to then bring them together in our awareness and discover the miracle that happens when they meet...
Thought is individual -- feeling is universal, feeling is cosmic. So the deeper you go into your feeling, the deeper you understand the language of god. If you understand the language of feeling -- your own feeling -- you will be able to understand the feeling of the animals, the trees, the stars. The deeper you go into feeling, the deeper you move into the very language of existence itself. Feeling is the universal language, and it is oceanic.
OSHO Blessed are the Ignorant, Chapter-12
Tao has no methods, it is anti-method, because Tao means that which is natural. The method always creates the artificial, the method is always against nature. Nature needs no method, nature means that which already is. You need not discover it, you need not create it. You need not practise it; in fact, if you practise it you will miss it, because all practising will be of the mind and will create more conditionings...
Climate refugee would be a person who is forced to relocate, either to a new country or to a new location within their home country, due to global warming related environmental disasters; it is not clear that any such people yet exist...
Union Sports Minister, M. S. Gill, paid a surprise visit to the Osho pavilion at the World Book Fair held in New Delhi last month and expressed interest in Osho literature. Among the celebrities who visited the Osho pavilion were distinguished artistes Padma Vibhushan Sonal Mansingh...
The spiritual part of love lies in recognising that it is divine. One needs to move in love as one moves in a temple, with great reverence and gratitude...
Sutra (Technique)- As, subjectively, letters flow into words and words into sentences, and as, objectively, circles flow into worlds and worlds into principles, find at last these converging in our being.
Many of us know Pythagoras’ famous theorem in geometry but few of us are aware that he also traveled extensively in search of truth, learning from many mystery schools. Being both mathematician and mystic, he was the first enlightened person to experiment with creating...
The intelligent person will go inward first. Before going anywhere else, he will go into his own being; that is the first thing. Only when you have known yourself can you go anywhere else. Then wherever you go, you will carry blissfulness around you, says Osho, the Zen master.
If you really want to laugh you will have to learn how to weep. If you cannot weep and if you are not capable of tears, you will become incapable of laughter. A man of laughter is also a man of tears -- then a man is balanced. A man of bliss is also a man of silence...
