Nowhere to Go but In

Nowhere to Go but In
Unique answers to real questions


In this book Osho answers a wide range of seeker’s questions, speaking on themes such as the nature of enlightenment, the seeking of spiritual powers, the relationship between meditation and love; on love and marriage, marriage and sex, sex as a meditation and Tantra.

In explaining a meditation technique called "tratak," Osho says it is "an experiment in just looking. It can be done under the open sky, in nature -- looking without mentally processing the images on the eye. In a short while you will find that the outside sky has entered you; that the sky outside and the sky within you have merged to become the great sky, all boundaries have disappeared."

Nine Sutras

Nine Sutras


Osho talks for the first time on his own Nine Sutras. Opening boundless new dimensions to the meaning and significance of the word yoga, he illuminates its vast scope and takes us way beyond what may well be our limited and limiting understanding of it. Using modern scientific knowledge to help us experiment with and experience our inner world, Osho gives us an in-depth introduction to his famous Dynamic meditation and takes us on a timeless journey into the beyond, home to ourselves.

"I have told you these Nine Sutras, not so that your knowledge may increase, not so that you may become more knowledgeable I have said all these things in the hope that, perhaps, you may get nudged a little, and you may take off on some journey."
-Osho

The New Alchemy: To Turn You On

The New Alchemy
To Turn You On


The New Alchemy: To Turn You On is a practical, detailed guide for those exploring meditation. Osho has a vast understanding of the steps and pitfalls along the way and the unique gift of communicating them directly and simply: “Whenever you have found a technique, a way, retreat within, go within. Experiment with it there, in your subjectivity, in your heart. Experience it. Don’t just go on thinking about what meditation is. Do it! Only then will you know what it is.”

While the emphasis is on active meditation, Osho skillfully interweaves commentaries on Mabel Collins’ Light on the Path, to further support the seeker’s understanding: “These are the sutras achieved by ultimate wisdom. They are deep and sometimes very complex, even contradictory, but they are the ultimate flowering of wisdom.”

"No one is more qualified to introduce the mystics than Osho, a man who stands out even in their exalted company. He speaks from his own experience, bringing his mystic predecessors to life, making them his contemporaries."
John Lilly

No Water, No Moon

No Water, No Moon


Brimming with paradox and humor, OSHO is guaranteed to shake, shock and delight with these discourses based on Zen stories.

This book is about sudden enlightenment – that supreme moment when we cease struggling to understand with our minds matters that are beyond the mind, and jump wholeheartedly into the abyss. OSHO offers us deep insights into ourselves, our individual natures and the universe.


'I found No Water, No Moon one of the most refreshing, cleansing and delightful books I could imagine. It is a book which will never cease to be a comforting companion.'
-Yehudi Menuhin

Nirvana: The Last Nightmare

Nirvana: The Last Nightmare


Why does Osho say that nirvana, enlightenment, is a nightmare – and not only a nightmare but the last nightmare? Because as long as we keep hoping for some future paradise, we are sacrificing the present moment for a moment that will never come. Our desire to achieve nirvana becomes the very obstacle to its happening.

Osho challenges us to wake up and stop dreaming. He exposes the tricks and habits of our minds that keep us from being in the here and now, living this moment totally.

As he retells five beautiful Zen stories and relates them to our lives today, we begin to discover the art of being present and joyful in the simple ordinariness of life.

Notes of a Madman

Notes of a Madman


Osho creates a loosely woven tapestry of vivid, humorous and touching impressions and glimpses giving the feeling we are having a personal meeting with the master.

This small volume is one of three unique books from talks given in the unlikely setting of his dental sessions. In this atmosphere, Osho speaks in a poetic way on a wild and wonderful range of subject. It is a rare and intimate glimpse of enlightenment. He speaks on danger, beauty, madness, freedom, the fool. He tells us that fear is the only enemy of women.

He weaves haikus of his own, and haikus from Zen mystics, with a loved Tibetan mantra: "Of the mortal and the immortal, of darkness and light, of the changing and the unchanging...Om mani padme hum."

No Mind, The Flowers of Eternity

No Mind

The Flowers of Eternity

This beautifully presented volume chronicles twelve days of upheaval in the life of OSHO and his disciples as he returns from a long period of illness to announce that he is dropping his former name, Bhagwan.

Using anecdotes about Zen masters and their disciples, as well as a magnificent selection of haikus, OSHO reveals the mystery of Zen as something to be savored rather than solved.

He then confirms the assertion of a Japanese seeress that he has become a vehicle for the wandering soul of Gautama the Buddha, who has promised to return to the world as Maitreya, the friend.

A landmark of a book, intriguing and amusing.

(The) New Dawn

The New Dawn


A many-faceted series of discourses in which OSHO dismantles a great variety of questions from disciples.

One asks: With the imminent possibility of global suicide isn't it a paradox that all we can do is to sit silently? Another worries about the misuse of genetic science, and a third isn't sure how to respond to the madness of living in the world. And there are many questions of the heart: about feelings of unworthiness; how to make the transition from loneliness to aloneness and what we learn from love. OSHO's responses are applicable to everyone, everywhere, who is sincerely seeking to understand and to evolve.


'Never before or after have I encountered anybody having such a harmonious and immensely creative view encompassing art, science, human psychology and religiousness. Certainly we would lack substantially without his vision of the new man.'Dr. A. Schleger, Ph.D., Institute of Technology, Switzerland

Nansen: The Point of Departure

Nansen
The Point of Departure


Based on the anecdotes of Nansen, the poetry of Sekiso and the questions of a disciple, this series of talks is penetrated by OSHO's love for the radical revolutionary, the courageous innovator Nansen, and his insistence that the spiritual is not apart from the material, The Point of Departure.

Challenging the reader to be a whole person, not denying anything, OSHO continually hits us with the Zen stick of his wit, encouraging us to 'transform everything, including everything in your spiritual growth.'

(The) Mustard Seed

(The) Mustard Seed


This timely book explores the wisdom of the Gnostic Jesus, who challenges our preconceptions about the world and ourselves.

Based on the Gospel of Thomas, the book recounts the missing years in Jesus’ life and his time in Egypt and India, learning from Egyptian secret societies, then Buddhist schools, then Hindu Vedanta.

Each of Jesus' original sayings is the "seed" for a chapter of the book; each examines one aspect of life — birth, death, love, fear, anger, and more — counter pointed by Osho’s penetrating comments and responses to questions from his audience.

Meetings With Remarkable People

Meetings With Remarkable People

Osho says of these remarkable people: "They lived in consciousness and they impressed the human consciousness."

"Don't live in events: Live in awareness:"

Here Osho brings to life most influential religious and spiritual leaders from a variety of cultures, from Buddha to Jesus to Krishna; poets such as Lao Tzu and Rumi; philosophers including Pythagoras and Socrates to Heraclites and Nietzsche; and great thinkers of more recent times, including Gurdjieff, Krishnamurti, and Kahlil Gibran.

Osho uses their lives and knowledge to guide the reader in a profound journey of spiritual discovery and wisdom.

Meditation: The First and Last Freedom

Meditation: The First and Last Freedom

A practical guide to meditation

Why does Osho call meditation "the first and last freedom"? – because in his understanding, meditation is the dimension through which every individual can realize his own, unique potential, the unlimited personal freedom that is available to all of us.

This book is a compilation drawn from Osho’s many years of work on meditation.

It contains a wide variety of over 60 meditation techniques: some traditional – like zazen, the ancient Buddhist practice – others are Osho’s unique formula especially designed for the 21st Century seeker.

In addition, Osho answers questions about some of the more common obstacles meditators may meet along the way.

An invaluable companion for any seeker.

Maturity

Maturity
The Responsibility of Being Oneself


In a culture infatuated with youth, and determined to avoid old age at all costs, this book dares to raise a question that has been all but forgotten in the age of Viagra and cosmetic surgery. What benefits might lie in accepting the aging process as natural, rather than trying to hold on to youth and its pleasures all the way to the grave?

Osho takes us back to the roots of what it means to grow up rather than just to grow old. Both in our relationships with others, and in the fulfillment of our own individual destinies, he reminds us of the pleasures that only true maturity can bring He outlines the ten major growth cycles in human life, from the self-centered universe of the pre-schooler to the flowering of wisdom and compassion in old age.

A unique sense of humor runs like a thread through the book, along with a profound compassion and understanding of how easy it is to be distracted from the deeper meaning and purpose of our lives - which is, ultimately, to flower into our own individual uniqueness and maturity with an attitude of celebration and joy.


Reviews

"This wise and witty book is the baby boomers’ bible! It offers hot tips on maturity as the path to wisdom, the art of transcending problems rather than having to solve them, and the secret of transforming a mid-life crisis into a creative explosion."
-Margot Anand, author of The Art of Sexual Ecstasy and The Art of Everyday Ecstasy.

The Message Beyond Words

The Message Beyond Words


The Kathopanishad is the ancient Indian scripture that addresses the reality of death and the dimensions beyond deathIt is done through a very sweet teaching story about an innocent boy, Nachiketa, and his search for the secrets of the soul by confronting and questioning Yama, the Lord of Death.

Here OSHO turns the eye of Enlightenment on the mist of fear and misunderstanding that surrounds death in the modern mind.OSHO completely exposes the myth of death. He shares a vision that is at once both decidedly practical and highly esoteric.

Meditation Inc.

Meditation Inc.

One has to learn the art of relaxation rather than learning the strategies of how to conquer the world and the reality. I'm not telling you to relax the whole day. Do your work, but find some time for yourself, and that can be found only in relaxation.

And you will be surprised that if you can relax for an hour or two hours: - it will give you a deeper inside into yourself. - It will change your behavior outwardly - it will be more calm, more quiet. - It will change the quality of your work - it will be more artistic and more graceful. You will be committing fewer mistakes than you used to commit before, because now you are more together, more centered.

Ma Tzu: The Empty Mirror

Ma Tzu: The Empty Mirror

He walked like a cow and looked like a tiger. He could touch his nose with his tongue and had two rings on the soles of his feet!The unpredictable Ma Tzu brings fresh responses and devices to every situation, the empty mirror who simply reflects.

To see things as they really are, you have to be absolutely empty, a mirror, clean, without any prejudices, without any judgments.

And that is Ma Tzu's whole teaching: Don't react, just be, and reflect.

Life, Love, Laughter

Life, Love, Laughter
Celebrating Your Existence

In this collection of reflections, Osho’s inspiring and loving stories go far beyond the usual chicken-soup fare. Life, Love, Laughter establishes a new genre of reflective and inspirational text stripped of all platitudes and clichés, and absolutely in tune with the realities of the 21st century.

In this artful work, Osho mixes entertainment and inspiration, ancient Zen stories and contemporary jokes to help us to find love, laughter, and ultimately, happiness.

Life, Love, Laughter includes an original talk by Osho on DVD.
This visual component enables the reader to experience the direct wisdom and humor of Osho straight from the source.

Love, Freedom, Aloneness

Love, Freedom, Aloneness
The Koan of Relationships.

Why are so many people living alone nowadays?The model of the traditional family is breaking down, children barely into their teens are experimenting with sex, and half of all marriages in developed countries end with divorce.

In this book, OSHO explains why these phenomena are happening and how they can actually be viewed as a cause for celebration rather then worry. Why is it that people who are happy being alone have the best to be happy with someone else? In the modern world, like it or not, freedom is our basic condition, and until we learn to live with freedom, learn to live by ourselves and with ourselves, we will deny ourselves the possibility of finding love and happiness with someone else

Living Tao

Living Tao

Talks on Fragments from “Tao Te Ching” by Lao Tzu

‘Lao Tzu is not logical; he is a very, very simple man, not a scholar at all. He does not know anything about arguments: He simply watches life; he is a great watcherof life, a witness, a spectator.’

‘Only Tao is a natural religion. All other religions are in subtle ways unnatural. Lao Tzu is the future of the whole humanity and all possibilities of bliss and benediction lies through him, pass through him.’ – Osho

Live Zen

Live Zen


‘It is one of the most fundamental things to be remembered by all of you that a religion is living only when there is no organized doctrine, no system of beliefs, no dogma, no theology. When there is just this silence and the trees enjoying the dance in the breeze, in your heart something grows. It is your own, it does not come from any scripture; nobody can give it to you because it is not knowledge. That is the greatest difference between all the religions on one side and Zen on the other side.’

‘All religions except Zen are dead.’

Light on the Path

Light on the Path


These first talks after OSHO's departure from the US provide a rare glimpse, during his movement's most uncertain times, into his efforts to create a New Man.

From his suite in a hotel in Kathmandu, Nepal, OSHO speaks extensively on the connection between agnosticism and anarchy, the buddhafield and the future of his communes worldwide, the function of a spiritual master, his sannyasin therapists, the nature of inner growth and the 'psychology of the buddhas'.

The Last Morning Star

The Last Morning Star

In these discourses, OSHO calls all who will hear him to go beyond everything they know or have experienced.

'The path of devotion is the path of the heart,' he says. 'Only the mad succeed there, only those who can laugh and cry with their whole heart, who are not afraid to drink the wine of the divine-because when you drink that wine you will became intoxicated, you will lose control over your life.’

The Language of Existence

The Language of Existence


Nine discourses based on anecdotes of both famous and little-known Zen masters. Many of these stories were previously only available in Japanese and were translated specially for these talks.

In his discussion of these stories OSHO gives meditation techniques to help understand and go beyond death, as well as techniques to be used in everyday life.

This book also contains radical insights into the problem of drugs and OSHO presents a revolutionary solution.

Kyozan: A True Man of Zen

Kyozan
A True Man of Zen


Kyozan was such a simple and ordinary man that, as his own master put it, if it was possible for him to become enlightened, then it is possible for anyone.

These discourses – based on anecdotes about Kyozan's life and on a selection of exquisite haikus – are filled with that promise.

OSHO uses Kyozan's life to make Zen as accessible to the contemporary seeker as preparing a cup of tea.

Krishna: The Man and His Philosophy

Krishna
The Man and His Philosophy


Osho presents the opportunity for every person to become a dancing, celebrating Krishna as he reveals the relevance of Krishna’s ancient teachings for contemporary life.

Just like that

Just like that


With humor and sensitivity OSHO brings traditional Sufi stories into the 20th century, revealing the hidden dimensions of Sufism. He distinguishes between need and desire, expertise and existential experience, and talks on the nature of the ego, the importance of trust and the stages of growth in one's evolution.

Set out in poetic format, each discourse features beautiful photographs of the Sufi meditation technique of whirling.

Joy

Joy
The Happiness that Comes from Within


Timely and relevant to a society increasingly populated by people who depend on prescription drugs to get them through the day.

Osho challenges us to look into the ways we so often create - and then cling to - our own unhappiness. And urges us to reconnect with the natural joy we were born with, and that is available to us the moment we turn our attention to the silent space within.

Journey to the Heart

Journey to the Heart
Discourses on the Sufi Way


OSHO entices us to the unknown, the Ultimate. This journey is the greatest adventure open to man. It is one which requires the greatest daring, and one in which we have to risk our all.

For, as the Sufis say, 'Man must die before he dies'-die to the ego to be reborn to life.
Revitalizing well-known Sufi stories, OSHO talks about the ego as a barrier to one's true self, the value of meditation, the difference between knowledge and wisdom, the connection between happiness and unhappiness,, the beauty of sadness, and love as a transformative force.


'One of the ten people-along with Ghandi, Nehru and Buddha-who have changed the destination of India.'

Joshu: The Lion's Roar

Joshu
The Lion's Roar


'A hair's breadth of difference - and what happens?' Joshu is asked. There is no intellectual answer to the Koans of Zen, no approximate answer and no amount of intellect to be applied: 'Heaven and earth are far away.'

Only by authenticity can we rise in consciousness. And as this Lion's Roar of Joshu resounds through almost twelve centuries, its message has become more urgent. Through these symbolic Zen dialogues and the existential language of Haikus, OSHO urges his reader not to be lukewarm, but single-pointed in the search for our authenticity. This book is full of clues...hints and pointers how to 'begin' as OSHO puts it - how to bring this search into our everyday lives, and in very simple ways, how to begin meditating.

Joking Around

Joking Around
Tao Insights into Life


To be able to celebrate life is religion — in that very celebration you come close to God.

If one is able to celebrate, God is not far away; if one is not able to celebrate life, then God does not exist for him. God appears only in deep celebration, when you are so full of joy, that all misery has left you.

Jesus Crucified Again

Jesus Crucified Again
This Time in Ronald Regan's America

This special selection of discourses reveals the amazing details behind the demise of OSHO's commune in America and his persecution by the US government.

Here is a city under siege, innocent people not being tolerated because of the success of a lifestyle that threatens the status quo, and a plot to destroy a living enlightened master.

Substantiated with chapters by attorneys, doctors, and law enforcement officers, this book is a passionate indictment of the hypocrisy of American 'Democracy.'

Isan: No Footprints in the Blue Sky

Isan.
No Footprints in the Blue Sky

Our eyes are clouded with words, our minds full of doctrines and ideologies, our whole upbringing and education focused on how to leave our mark, how to leave the biggest footprints.

OSHO lures the inimitable Zen master Isan out of the obscurity of thirteen hundred years and illuminates his teaching:
'To cut all this rubbish like a sword, in a single blow, without hesitation, and the whole sky is yours, the whole expanse of the universe is yours.’

The Invitation

The Invitation


An invitation and introduction to OSHO's vision.

Lacing his talks with jokes and personal anecdotes, OSHO shows how the problems of everyday life can be used as tools for transformation. He also speaks on the connection between a master and his disciple, describing the role of the master as simply an invitation to return home to ourselves.

'He quotes Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira, Lao Tzu, Sufis and old Zen masters with stupendous memory, interpreting them with a freshness and directness as if they were speaking today, as if they wore jeans.'
-Die Zeit, Germany

Intuition

Intuition
Knowing Beyond Logic

What is intuition? Is it something that some people are born with, and others can never hope to develop? Or is it something that can be taught in courses, according to a set of formulas that anybody with a little perserverance and determination can master?

Osho’s understanding is that intuition is an inborn quality, available to all. But by the time most people reach adulthood, they have lost all contact with so many of their natural gifts - intuition among them - that they no longer even believe such gifts exist. Many things contribute to this loss of connection with our inborn gift of intuition - from the efforts of well-meaning parents to protect us from harm or ridicule, to attempts by our teachers to create classrooms full of orderly and obedient students. In the process we are taught to value safety more than exploration, to live within the confines of the logical mind at the expense of following the intuitive hunches that so often lead to true genius.

Intuition is the direct perception of reality, without interference from the prejudices and belief-systems of the mind. It is "knowing beyond logic" - and only those who are capable of going beyond the limitations of logic and analysis are able to respond creatively to the new and changing situations they encounter every day. In this book, Osho shows the way to removing the hindrances that have been placed in the way of our intuition so that it can flower and bring a new quality of intelligence and wholeness to our lives.


‘Once you have known the art of how to listen to your intuition, you will be surprised: intellect can err, intuition never errs - it is infallible. It always directs you in the right course of action.’
- Osho

Intimacy

Intimacy

Trusting Oneself and the Other

Hit-and-run relationships are common in a society that has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. But at the same time, there arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is missing - a quality of intimacy.

In this gentle and compassionate guide, Osho takes the reader step-by-step through what makes people afraid of intimacy, how to encounter those fears and go beyond them, and what they can do to nourish themselves and their relationships to support more openness and trust.

Intelligence

Intelligence
The Creative Response to Now


Osho challenges the idea that the best way to promote intelligence is to train the intellect. Intellect is logical, he says, intelligence is paradoxical. Intellect takes things apart to see how they work; intelligence puts things together to see the functioning of the whole. When our education systems put too much emphasis on developing intellect, an imbalance is created and both the individual and the society suffer. It is only through intelligence that we can respond creatively to the challenges of a changing world. By exploring the distinctions between intellect and intelligence, the book encourages readers to be more aware of how they approach problems - logical, emotional, and practical - and how they resolve them.

The Inner Journey

The Inner Journey
A practical guidebook for the seeker, for the inner traveler.

The Inner Journey is a precise manual for creating the inner balance and harmony to pave the way for the experience of meditation.

The complete science of the hara, full of techniques to relax the mind, tune into the heart, drop into the hara center. It contains a detailed guidance on how to approach food, work, and sleep as tools for enlightenment.

'The navel (hara) is the center of willpower. The more activated the navel is, the more intense the willpower becomes and the more you can attain the determination, the power, the life-energy to do something.'
OSHO

India My Love

India My Love
A Spiritual Journey


This beautifully illustrated volume is OSHO's tribute to the India he describes in the following excerpt:

'And down the centuries, seekers have been coming to this land from all over the world. The country is poor, the country has nothing to offer, but to those who are sensitive it is the richest place on the earth. But the richness is of the inner. This poor country can give you the greatest treasure that is possible for human beings.'


Indulge your inner being with a journey into the mystic heart of India with an enlightened Master as a guide. OSHO's extraordinary gift for storytelling brings a uniquely contemporary freshness to the tales of India's golden past. His lively talks animate the enchanted landscape of a land that even today continues to intrigue and attract the seeker and adventurer within us all.

Beautifully illustrated with photos of some of India's most sacred places, India My Love is a mystery tour with OSHO as guide and storyteller. In its pages we are taken on a journey through India's 'golden past,' and into its haunting presence. Along the way we are introduced to beggars and kings, wise men and fools, lovers and warriors, artists and scholars, and learn how each of them has contributed to the rich tapestry of mysticism and mystery that makes India unique to the human search for truth.

In Search of the Miraculous

In Search of the Miraculous (Rebel Edition)




This book is an unusual yet fascinating read for anyone who is interested in the practical application of the esoteric aspects of mysticism, and the science of human energy as it is understood in the East.

During this series, Osho is in the process of developing his revolutionary Dynamic Meditation, and responding to questions about many facets of his work including kundalini energy and shaktipat, the transfer of energy from an awakened one to a seeker of truth.

All the techniques in this book can help us experience miraculous moments when our energy expands and takes us into something far beyond the known.

A fascinating read for those who are interested in the esoteric aspects of mysticism, and for those who want to understand more about the science of human energy as it is understood in the East.

I Celebrate Myself

I Celebrate Myself.
God Is No Where, Life Is Now Here



'I celebrate myself, and I want you also to celebrate yourself,' says OSHO, echoing the American poet, Walt Whitman.

In this powerful series OSHO destroys all misconceptions of a divided universe; creator and created, believer and belief, theist and atheist: ‘The idea of God is an imprisonment, and only when one is free from this prison can one know what it is to live in a celebrative way.'

I Am the Gate

I Am the Gate (Third Edition)


This is the book where Osho talks about himself — not as a man, not even as a mystic, but as a manifestation of existence itself.

This book is a timeless classic that has served as an introduction for many people to Osho’s vision. Eight discourses to push the reader over the edge of the intellect into the mysterious, the esoteric and the transcendental.

Osho talks on the meaning of initiation, disciplehood and meditation — a loving invitation to begin the journey toward the ultimate truth:“A sannyasin to me is a person who decides to live to the utmost, to the optimum, to the maximum; it is just like a flame burning from both the poles.”

A helpful reader for those new to the world of Osho.

Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen

Hyakujo: The Everest of Zen



Hyakujo's greatest contribution to Zen was the monasteries, where thousands of people gathered together with a single intention, toward what Zen calls The Ultimate Experience.
And his motto: 'One day without working, one day without food.' No holy charity here; work and meditation go hand in hand. He also created the Chinese Tea Ceremony where something so ordinary as drinking tea becomes a meditation.

This book is more than a simple chronicle of a past master, here we see OSHO 'hitting' a disciple in front of the assembled thousands at the evening meditation, and we experience the depths of her response. Such was the intensity of this that OSHO dedicated the book to her, a book that is truly 'living Zen' and a must for everyone who is remotely interested in the ways of a Zen master.

Hsin Hsin Ming: Book of Nothing

Hsin Hsin Ming: Book of Nothing


'If I were to save only two books from the whole world of the mystics, one would be Sosan's Hsin Hsin Ming,' OSHO says.'It contains the quintessence of Zen, the path of awareness and meditation...the very soul of Zen.'

Himself a master of both words and silence, OSHO builds a bridge between the modern, chattering mind and the infinite no-mind of Sosan through these Zen sutras – the only words uttered by Sosan, the 6th-century Chinese mystic and third Chinese patriarch.

The Hidden Splendor

The Hidden Splendor

OSHO unfolds the basic search for childlike innocence, joy, playfulness, fearlessness...

a state of being which OSHO describes as our hidden splendor. He underlines the reality of a world heading toward self-destruction and calls on the reader to work to help to change its course before it is too late.

Hidden Mysteries

Hidden Mysteries



The real significance of temples, holy places and statues and the original purpose of mantras, astrology and incense has all been lost over the years. As we no longer know how to use them as jumping boards into the ultimate truth, they have either been debased into the mythical trappings of religions and “new age” beliefs or mocked by skeptics.

But, explains Osho, once we understand that a higher consciousness is still flowing in these ancient places, all we have to do is turn in and stand in the middle of the stream and “with the sails of our consciousness open.” Then, in such places, the inner journey is easier and faster than anywhere else.

The Hidden Harmony.

The Hidden Harmony.
Talks on Fragments of Heraclitus.



“Heraclitus is a really rare flowering, one of the most highly penetrating souls, one of those souls who become like Everest, the highest peak of the Himalayas. Try to understand him….”
Osho

If Heraclitus had been born in India rather than Greece, says Osho, he would have been recognized not simply as a philosopher but as a buddha, a mystic. At the center we are all existential, living on the surface we are just social functionaries. A poetic mystic like Heraclitus may appear inharmonious on the surface, but he will always be harmonious in the center. As we encounter opposites, conflicts and polarities in life, Osho encourages us not to choose between them but rather live both. If we can do this whilst remaining unattached to either, that very witnessing will be the birth of a hidden harmony within each one of us.

Heartbeat of the Absolute.

Heartbeat of the Absolute.


In these discourses OSHO gave during a meditation camp, sutras from these ancient Sanskrit scriptures - the Ishavasya Upanishad - are transmuted into stunning insights that can open the reader's eyes to his own inner reality. OSHO speaks on issues that touch the heart and intellect of every individual: love and possessiveness, our investment in forgetting the phenomenon of death, and the nature of the mind are but a few. He also gives practical suggestions, how to prepare for meditation and how to extract the most from the meditation techniques.


'These books are really what people are looking for...They are even more relevant now than when they were spoken.'
Michael Mann, Chairman of Element Books.

The Heart Sutra.

The Heart Sutra.

Discourses on the Heart Sutra, the Prajnaparamita Hridayam Sutra of Gautam the Buddha reveal his essential teachings: the merging of negative and positive, the insubstantiality of the ego, and the buddha-nature of all of existence. In his inimitable way OSHO brings these archaic yet invaluable insights right to the doorstep of the contemporary inquirer. He also speaks on the seven chakras and the corresponding facets in man - the physical, psychosomatic, psychological, psycho-spiritual, spiritual, spiritual-transcendental and transcendental...


'Treatises on Buddhism are often dry and reverential, if not tediously scholastic, and if OSHO's treatment is not canonical, it compensates by throbbing with life, humor, penetrating insight and the continual provocation to think for oneself'.
Guy Claxton, Author of 'Noises from the Darkroom'
