Some years ago, one of Osho’s sannyasins was brought to me for heart surgery, he had a serious problem and there was very little hope that he would live long. The other sannyasins, who had brought him, were a happy lot. There was no sadness or seriousness about them and instead of being solemn, they asked me if they could film the operation! What struck me was a certain glow that emanated not only from all the patient’s friends but also from the patient himself! It was certainly a glow of their positive attitude. It was a major operation and I was not optimistic about the patient’s survival, so I refused the filming. But nothing seemed to prick their bubble. Not only did they seem to receive this serious problem differently, they had a positive outlook on death as well! A rare ideal in the world, today. The patient did extremely well during the operation and had a remarkable recovery. The positive attitude that the Osho sannyasins had, I believe, contributed a great deal to the patient’s recovery.Osho’s said, Modern psychology all around the world is doing something stupid: analyzing the brain. The mind needs no analysis. It is analyzing junk. It needs simply to be erased. The moment the mind is erased-and the method is meditation-you are left with a body which is absolutely beautiful. The moment the brain is freed form the mind, the innocent of the brain becomes aware of a new space which we have called the soul. Once you have found your soul, you have found your home. You have found that the whole existence is ready for you to dance, to rejoice, to sing-to live intensely and blissfully.

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.
