There is a famous Zen story about a disciple, Riko, who once asked his master, Nansen, to explain to him the old Zen koan of the goose in the bottle. Namely, if a man puts a gosling into a bottle and feeds the gosling through the bottle's neck until it grows and becomes a goose - and then there is simply no more room inside the bottle - how can the man get it out without killing the goose or breaking the bottle? In response, Nansen shouts, "Riko!" and gives a great clap with his hands.

Being loose and natural will give you a spontaneous awareness, rather than making an effort to reach a certain goal. No effort is going to succeed because the cause of all misery is the doer, the ego, our idea of self. Osho only teaches awareness. Suppression is not the way to buddhahood. Simply relax and be whatsoever you are - and awareness will come by itself.

Ordinarily when we read a title or headline “The Nature of Fear”, we don’t move into a space of love – but instead think of moments in our life when we experienced fear. Yet in this talk Osho describes love as the most potent remedy to fear as he takes us on a journey through the multidimensional layers of love, the antidote of antidotes.

Here Osho deals with the difference between the intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit or intuition. Mind knows reality through logic while intuition is how the spirit experiences reality. Osho describes the three different levels of the ladder of consciousness: the lowest and the first is instinct; the second, the middle, is intellect; and the third, the highest and most subtle, intuition.

Here, Osho introduces listeners to this extraordinary mystic and his songs, bringing both to light in such a way as to show how they are both timeless and utterly relevant to our time. The path of love, as described by Osho and though the songs of Kabir, is a journey that seeks out and celebrates the divine that is hidden in the ordinary, the love that becomes not just a feeling one has but ultimately a state of being that one is.

The Magic of Self-Respect is the second volume in a series titled Authentic Living. So much of the experience of everyday life, says Osho in this insightful guide, is shaped by religious and social conditioning - and we are not even aware of the fact.

Written more than 25 centuries ago, the Diamond Sutra is the first text to record the Buddha's own teachings, and it remains one of the most popular. Osho comments in a series of talks on these sutras and brings Buddha's teachings into the 21st century. One day, after the Buddha finishes his daily walk to collect alms, a senior monk steps forth to ask how he can best help humanity. Buddha responds, and thus begins a dialogue regarding the nature of perception.

In Tao, Osho takes listeners on an adventure into the world of Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Lieh Tzu, Ko Hsuan - the world of Taoism, one of the four major traditions of China. The 3000-year-old Taoist message of self-realization becomes alive as Osho recounts the stories of these Chinese mystics. Contrary to the laissez-faire going-with-the-flow perception of Taoism, Osho describes Tao in terms of freedom, anarchy, and chaos.

Osho responds to questions and speaks about psychological concepts as presented by Freud, Jung, Adler and Assagioli and others, comparing their theories with the Eastern practice of meditation. While psychologist and physicians approach the body and the mind separately as illness, Osho exams the wider human condition and the underlying issue which he calls a "spiritual illness". He points out that every individual longs for freedom and is surrounded by restrictive systems that deny this fundamental right.

We all feel sometimes like a stranger to ourselves, with uncomfortable feelings of having lost direction in life, feeling insecure and missing a kind of authenticity and centeredness in life. In a society where ideals of eternal happiness and beauty are dominating our life around the clock and being sad looks like failure.

Nirvana has become an idealized word associated with the juxtaposition of a cult rock celebrity who died before his time and a vague new age version of Eastern religion. An altered state to be hoped for but likely unattainable, reinforcing that all too familiar uneasiness associated with never being able to have what we truly desire in life.

Challenging the religious concept of God the creator, Osho invites us to consider that everything in existence is comprised of "something" - call it God or godliness, matter or electricity, ABC or the divine. What is important is being willing to recognize our own inner godliness or divinity. Dangerous? Osho goes on to speak about what it means to live dangerously.

In times when traditional families and relationship models are collapsing, loneliness has become an issue faced by millions. Osho as ever sees these developments as a great opportunity to discover, to move from the despair of loneliness to the highest value of 'aloneness'. This audiobook in a new series of 'OSHO Singles" consisting of a single talk by Osho to deepen the listeners understanding how to deal with loneliness in a completely different way.

An authority on the world's spiritual traditions, Osho is celebrated for his unique ability to refresh ancient wisdoms for a contemporary audience. Here he takes the listener on an exciting journey into the life and world of Prince Gautam Siddhartha, who became the Buddha.

In Tantric Transformation, we are introduced to the sacred and ancient tradition of tantra by a contemporary tantric master Osho. We are given a detailed map of tantra: inner man, inner woman; the meeting of man and woman; the transformation of energy through sex, love, and meditation. Based on the Royal Song of Saraha, we are not just introduced to an Asian sex tradition, but with Osho we enter the higher levels of transformation. Here, we find tantra as a door to freedom.

We have lost touch with who we are and how we want to live. It started at birth. From birth we are molded according to the beliefs and ideals of others, and our own potential is ignored. It needs immense courage to go your own way, leaving the crowd behind. The moment you do it you are taking responsibility for your life in your own hands. Osho reminds us that it is a step worth taking.

"Crea il tuo destino" è un libro cardine per chi ama la visione di Osho. Prima di tutto perché è uno dei pochissimi scritti che ci giunge direttamente da lui, e non una semplice trascrizione dei suoi discorsi. In secondo luogo perché queste pagine toccano le tematiche che tutti noi prima o poi incontriamo nel corso della nostra vita. Ma soprattutto perché questi argomenti sono trattati in modo decisamente insolito.

"Ricordate: voi avete una sola energia. Al livello più basso, viene definita "energia sessuale"; se continuate a raffinarla, se continuate a trasformarla attraverso la meditazione, la stessa energia inizia a muoversi verso l'alto, e diventa amore, diventa preghiera. È la stessa energia, ma a un diverso stadio di trasformazione: il sesso allo stato grezzo è la materia prima; assomiglia a un diamante in una miniera; dev'essere tagliato, lucidato, è necessario molto lavoro perché vi si possa riconoscere il diamante."

"Il genere umano si sta avvicinando a un momento assolutamente unico, in cui potrà fare un balzo quantico. E ciò accadrà soprattutto in Occidente, perché là si è raggiunto un sufficiente grado di benessere, la povertà non è più una regola e la gente può pensare a cose più elevate. E volgere lo sguardo alle stelle." Con queste parole di grande ottimismo Osho commenta l'arrivo del terzo millennio, epoca in cui, secondo lui, potrà nascere l'Uomo Nuovo.

"Se hai un figlio, proteggilo da te stesso e da tutti coloro che possono influenzarlo: difendilo almeno fino ai sette anni. È proprio come una giovane piantina, fragile e delicata, che può essere distrutta da una folata di vento più forte o divorata da qualsiasi animale." I bambini sono espressione di spontaneità e libertà, vivono una gioia, una giocosità e una creatività naturali. La nostra cultura tende a visualizzare l'infanzia attraverso la nostalgia che rende tutto rosa, facile e felice.
