Osho is an alive, vibrant, and powerful phenomenon impossible to ignore. The ultimate in human consciousness is personified in Osho. This set of 2 books feature discourses of Osho in interactive sessions with his disciples. BOOK I: The Master Is A Mirror, There is an ancient parable of a very ugly woman who was very antagonistic towards mirrors because she thought, just as you all think, that it was the mirror that crated the ugliness in her- because when the mirror was not there, she was no, longer ugly. She was so madly against mirrors that whenever she would see a mirror, she would immediately break it.The parable is significant. That’s what we are all doling in our lives in many ways. Whatsoever reflects out reality we want to escaper from because it is not gratifying.Pankaja, here in my presence, or even when you think of me, if you feel yourself as immature, a retarded child, don’t try to explain it away in any way. This is the Truth.And this is not only your truth; this is the truth of the whole of humanity. You are just fortunate that you have become aware of it.You have come across a mirror. Braking the mirror is not going to help.
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.
