TRUPUL MURITOR SI LUMINA SPIRITULUI
Învățăturile lui Osho, unul dintre cei mai cunoscuți lideri spirituali ai secolului XX, răstoarnă tiparele clasice de gândire, provocându-ne la o permanentă punere sub semnul întrebării a certitudinilor și la un proces de conștientizare de sine.
Cărțile din seria „OSHO“ prezintă viziunea acestuia privind cele mai importante probleme pe care și le pun oamenii interesați de știința transformării de sine și de o spiritualitate adaptată la provocările cotidiene ale vieții contemporane.
„Omul nu e doar o lampă făcută din lut; în el se mai află și o flacără de lumină care se ridică în permanență către soare. Numai corpul lui e făcut din lut, sufletul lui e acea flacără. […] Risipește fumul din mintea ta și vezi flacăra conștiinței. Ridică‑ți privirile dincolo de ceea ce este muritor în tine și recunoaște ceea ce este nemuritor. Nu există nimic mai prețios decât recunoașterea aceasta, căci odată cu ea animalul din tine va muri și se va naște dumnezeirea.“ - OSHO

About the author
Osho
4,353 books6,779 followersRajneesh (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.

60 stories each of them with a wise message that will open your mind and soul - and also lead you to constantly reflect on the philosophies of the daily things that we usually overlook.

I am not such a fan from Osho but now and then it is interesting to read his teachings.
Sometimes it is just "too much" of religion and God. Still, we can always let us stop for some minutes and keep in mind little "truths" that one tend to forget.
"O segredo para chegar a algum lado na vida é seguir em direcção à existência. Fora isso, nenhuma outra direcção, nenhuma estrada, leva a lado algum. Nadem em direcção à existência. Nadar no sentido contrário só fará com que a pessoa se despedace e se destrua".
"Não é também verdade que ao irmos contra nós mesmos não chegamos a lado nenhum? Na vida, a felicidade pertence a quem vive em si mesmo, se conhece a si mesmo e alcança a si mesmo."
Parábola - Nadar com a existência
Nota: infelizmente a tradução portuguesa não é de se lhe tirar o chapéu

When you get too much, you often under value it. You become bored. Mind wavers for new, yet you are sewing the same cloth. what have you found ? why are you still tangled ? That which comes from earth goes to earth... that which comes from sky goes back to sky. the earthen lamp.... Lamp is earthen... Flame is from sky... Just observe...
