‘All our lives we are running. What are we running from? What is the fear? The fear is that on the one hand we are unable to live fully, and on the other hand the fear of death is imminent, present. Both things are interconnected . . . then what is the answer?’
— OSHO
Most of us look for security
in our relationships and in our choice of living and working conditions.
Underlying this search for security is a deep, instinctive fear of death, which
continually colours our lives and drives our focus outward, toward survival.
But we also have a longing to
turn inward, to relax deeply within ourselves, and experience the sense of
freedom and expansion this brings.
With this book the reader can
start an exploration of his or her inner world.
Osho debunks the myths and
misunderstandings around death and invites us to experience our eternal inner
space that is now and here.
About the author
Osho defies categorization.
His talks, which run into thousands, cover everything from the individual quest
for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing society
today. Osho’s books are not written but are transcribed from audio and video
recordings of his extemporaneous talks to international audiences. As he puts
it, ‘So remember: whatever I am saying is not just for you . . . I am talking
also for the future generations.’
Osho has been described by
Sunday Times in London as one of the ‘1000 Makers of the 20th Century’, and by
American author Tom Robbins as ‘the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ’.
Sunday Mid-Day (India) has selected Osho as one of the ten people-along with
Gandhi, Nehru and Buddha-who have changed the destiny of India.
About his own work, Osho
has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new
kind of human being. He often characterizes this new human being as ‘Zorba, the
Buddha’-capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of Zorba, the Greek and
the silent serenity of Gautama, the Buddha. Running like a thread through all
aspects of Osho’s talks and meditations is a vision that encompasses both the
timeless wisdom of all ages past and the highest potential of today’s (and
tomorrow’s) science and technology.
Osho is known for his
revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, with an
approach to meditation that acknowledges the accelerated pace of contemporary
life. His unique OSHO Active Meditations™ are designed to first release the
accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is then easier to take an
experience of stillness and thought-free relaxation into daily life.
Two autobiographical works by the author are available: Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic, St Martin’s Press, New York (book and e-book), and Glimpses of a Golden Childhood, OSHO Media International, Pune, India.
