Osho Life Essentials

Moc, politika i promene : sta mogu da ucinim da bih unapredio svet?

Rate this book
„Promeni sebe i samom tom promenom izmenio si i deo sveta.“
-Osho

Moc, politika i promena uzima uobicajenu mudrost da „moc kvari ljude“ i umesto nje predlaze da su oni koji tragaju za moci vec iskvareni. Kada ostvare svoj cilj, njihova iskvarenost samo dobija priliku da se izrazi. Zbog toga cak i oni koji zele moc samo da bi napravili radikalnu promenu tako retko uspevaju, uprkos najboljim namerama. Osho trazi otkuda sva ova „zelja za moci“ potice i kako se ispoljava, ne samo u politickim institucijama, vec i u nasim svakodnevnim odnosima. Uz to, nudi nam i viziju medjuljudskih odnosa i drustva zasnovanih ne na moci nad drugima, vec na prepoznavanju jedinstvenosti svake individue.

Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.

In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.

Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.

In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".

In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.

In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.

In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[

After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

أوشو شخص رهيب..
مش طبيعي..
عبقري..

كتابه هذا يتكلم عن السياسة من وجهة نظره..
يقرن السياسة بالطمع..
ويفصل بين ثلاث أنواع من السيطرة السياسية..
الجيش والحكومة والحاكم السلطة العسكرية السياسية..
السلطةالدينية..
السلطة المالية..
وكيف أن هؤلاء الثلاثة وأي ساع للسلطة هو فقط شخص لديه شعور بالدونية..
يريد أن يعوضها من خلال تسلطه على الناس..

لدى أوشو نظرية في مجتمع جديد..
يسمى Commune..
حيث هو نظام عادل وحر.. الحكومة إن وجدت دورها تنظيمي لا أكثر..

يضع أوشو خطة بسيطة للتغيير في ما نعاني منه اليوم..
ببساطة لا تغير العالم..
غير الجزء الذي تستطيع أن تغيره..
وهو أنت..
بأن تكون متدينا مؤمناً..
لا تابعاً لدين..
لكن فقط مؤمناً..
ليس بالضرورة بالله بل بالوجود..

طريقة كتابته ممتعة..
مهضومة..
تدفع للتأمل..
للحرية والمغامرة..
للإبداع..

أوشو شخص قل نظيره..
من أروع فلاسفة العصر..
أو المتنورين..
أو المحششين بقوة :P

اللي مش قارئ شي لأوشو يروح يجيب أي كتاب..
ويبلش فيه ;)

Mi primer libro de Osho , un libro para leer con la mente abierta y con el deseo De cambiar te invita a la reflexión profunda y al cambio verdadero.

Quizás muy repetitivo en ciertos temas pero muy claro el mensaje del libro

If you make them walk in the forest in the darkness, you will see that their ability to pay attention and their sense of wonder will explode. If you just take them and make them walk for a night, without torches, without cell phones, without anything in a protected atmosphere, you will see within one night, there will be a tremendous transformation in their sense of wonder. But we are making them physically incapable of these things. Just sitting in front of the computer is making them physically incapable. When something hurts physically, they will protest; they will not do anything. This is something that parents must take care off. Bringing up your child does not mean just sending him to school so that he gets marks and grades and all that nonsense. In body and mind, your child should develop his full capabilities. That is when success will manifest in his life. Just marks will not manifest as success.

Being a Osho fan...i really think he has quiet distinctly examined a Politican, a religious man, the difference between them and why both are so different from each other.

He explains what we can do to change the whole world which is full of politicians and religious man.
