Osho often says, ‘The inward journey to ourself or to our source is not difficult but it seems difficult because we are no longer simple. We have become very complex and our complexity creates all the problems. Most of the people are mentally sick because there is contradiction in their feeling of the heart and in their action.There should be no duality in our thinking and in our behavior. We should be authentic. Our action and words should not be different. If not so, then you become split and divided. You should be whole and united. Our society is concerned only with your outer behavior. It does not worry about your inner condition. For the peaceful co-existence of people, the rules of morality and good manners are very necessary but sincerity and honesty are very essential for the spiritual growth.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR Osho .
Osho was born in Kuchwada, Madhya Pradesh, on 11 December 1931. Rebellious and independent from childhood, he insisted on experiencing the truth for himself rather than acquiring knowledge and beliefs given by others. He attained 'enlightenment' at 21 and went on to complete his academic studies. He spent several years teaching philosophy at the University of Jabalpur. Meanwhile, he travelled throughout India delivering talks and meeting people from all walks of life. By the 1960s, Osho had begun to develop his unique dynamic meditation techniques. He felt that modern man is so burdened with the archaic traditions of the past as well as the anxieties of modern-day living that he must go through a deep cleansing process before he can hope to discover the thought-less, relaxed state of meditation. In the early 1970s, the West first began to hear of Osho. By 1974, a commune had been established around him in Pune, and the trickle of visitors from the West soon became a flood. Osho spoke of every aspect of life and on the development of human consciousness. Based on his own existential experience rather than on intellectual understanding, he distilled the essence of what is significant to the spiritual quest of contemporary man. Osho left his body on 19 January 1990. His commune in India continues to attract thousands of international visitors who come to participate in its meditation, therapy and creative programmes or to simply experience being in a 'Buddhafield'. Osho's talks have been published in more than 600 volumes and translated into over thirty languages.
