Jan 28, Miha rated it it was amazing. This was a beautiful read or should I say listen. So much food for thought, so much insightful ideas to meditate upon.
Subsequently it is the first book that I simply had to write a review of. His eccentric, yet at the same time easy to understand, perspective is both mind-boggling and somewhat easily applicable, if you are willing to make a change to your perception of life His luci This was a beautiful read or should I say listen.
His lucid and humorous take on life will have you grinning like an idiot and I would really suggest getting your hands on the audio-book version. Because that way you can experience Osho at his fullest, with all the stillness his voice and words bring. And I leave you with one of his many jokes: ''Three surgeons, old friends, met on holiday. On the beach, sitting under the sun, they started boasting. The first said, "I came across a man who had lost both of his legs in the war.
I gave him artificial legs, and it has been a miracle. Now he has become one of the greatest runners in the world! There is every possibility that in the next coming Olympics he is going to win. I came across a woman who fell from a thirty-story building: her face was completely crushed. I did a great job of plastic surgery. Now just the other day I came to know through the newspapers that she has become the world beauty queen. They both looked at him and asked, "What have you done lately?
What's new? They said, "But we are friends, we can keep your secret. You need not be worried, it will not leak out. A man was brought to me: he had lost his head in a car accident. I was at a loss to know what to do.
I rushed into my garden just to think what to do, and suddenly I came across a cabbage. Finding nothing else, I transplanted the cabbage in place of the head. And do you know what? That man has become the prime minister of India. May 02, Ahsan Butt rated it it was amazing Shelves: philosophy-spirituality. Feb 24, LakshmiSandeep rated it it was amazing Shelves: spirituality. Really amazing book of wisdom.
Osho's replies to 'seekers' of various levels. Loved reading - enjoyed ,laughed and confused about the contradictions that he proposes. Journey towards 'No Mind' state. May 16, Rachel Nancy rated it it was amazing Shelves: want-to-read-again. So simple, so logical yet so easily forgotten I listen to this when I need grounding.
Apr 26, Parker Geissler rated it liked it. After reading even a small portion of this masterpiece, you find yourself retracing the insights that have been laid down by Osho in such an enticingly simple manner, for their strikingly profound potency.
In fact, the flow of the book is, at times, almost too simple; of course the intellect will always be hit by the disillusioning whirlwind of Osho's "non-philosophy", which reminds me of Meno's likening of Socrates to the Torpedo Fish, which causes anyone that approaches it to go numb : "For t After reading even a small portion of this masterpiece, you find yourself retracing the insights that have been laid down by Osho in such an enticingly simple manner, for their strikingly profound potency.
In fact, the flow of the book is, at times, almost too simple; of course the intellect will always be hit by the disillusioning whirlwind of Osho's "non-philosophy", which reminds me of Meno's likening of Socrates to the Torpedo Fish, which causes anyone that approaches it to go numb : "For truly, both in soul and in mouth, I am numb and have nothing with which I can answer you.
Of course, these honest assessments of human nature are so reasonable that the reader may find themselves baffled at the text's precision in pinpointing portions of intellectualism which lead to immense suffering and unconscious arrogance, as well as its flexibility in regards to questions such as: "What takes precedence in assessing the morality of any action: Intention or Consequence?
However appealing this may be to those of us inclined towards the actual progress of Religion and Spirituality, I have found from personal experience that Osho's apparent refusal to take a solid stance on anything is not for everyone. Nevertheless, the presentation of Atisha's seven points of mind training seamlessly tie into the array of topics discussed in the book, and the amount to meditate over is worthy of an entire lifetime. If there is a definitive Osho book which could be presented as a basic summation of his philosophical and spiritual views again, we can call them "non-views" it would be this one.
More Than a Talk In these 28 talks, given to an audience of sannyasins and seekers during his Poona One days, Osho does what he does best: sell enlightenment. Osho's vision is all-encompassing. He embraces all of the Masters and Mystics from the past in an e More Than a Talk In these 28 talks, given to an audience of sannyasins and seekers during his Poona One days, Osho does what he does best: sell enlightenment.
He embraces all of the Masters and Mystics from the past in an effort to cast a wide net to pull his audience in. He is no different with Atisha. After illuminating sutras from Atisha, Osho then deconstructs questions from his listeners in a systematic logical fashion with a touch of poetry as well.
This style is pure genius and mystic insight interwoven in one. On a deeper level, Osho is performing spiritual alchemy on his listeners. He speaks so the listener can become quiet. For those who are sensitive enough, there is an energy-transmission taking place. Osho's words come from a deep place of silence within his own Being and this silence can be transformative.
In truth, these talks are more of a Satsang being with truth. Osho takes the listener on a pilgrimage - from mind to no-mind, from ego to Being. Not only are these talks engaging for the mind, but they keep the listener in tune for long enough to become attuned to the silence of the Master - the silence of Atisha, the silence of Osho, the same eternal silence of all those who have ever known.
This is the true function of a Buddha. At times he speaks in the person of Solomon, placing his teachings on the lips of the wise king of Hebrew tradition in order to emphasize their value. His profound knowledge of the earlier Old Testament writings is reflected in almost every line of the book, and marks him, like Ben Sira, as an outstanding representative of religious devotion and learning among the sages of postexilic Judaism.
The primary purpose of the author was the edification of his co-religionists in a time when they had experienced suffering and oppression, in part at least at the hands of apostate fellow Jews. The first ten chapters in particular provide background for the teaching of Jesus and for some New Testament theology about Jesus.
