Here, Osho introduces listeners to this extraordinary mystic and his songs, bringing both to light in such a way as to show how they are both timeless and utterly relevant to our time. The path of love, as described by Osho and though the songs of Kabir, is a journey that seeks out and celebrates the divine that is hidden in the ordinary, the love that becomes not just a feeling one has but ultimately a state of being that one is.

Osho, one of the best-known and most provocative spiritual teachers of our time, presents The Sutra of 42 Chapters - a scripture compiled in the first century C.E by a Chinese emperor. Two thousand-five-hundred years have passed since Buddha delivered the sutras on which this series is based. Using modern idiom, Osho extracts the kernel of Buddha's profound insight and understanding and presents his everlasting message to the contemporary listener in a manner that is lucid, straightforward and humorous.

Osho is known around the world for his pioneering contribution to meditation - the science of inner transformation - with the unique approach of his "Osho Active Meditations" acknowledging the accelerated pace of the contemporary world and bringing meditation into modern life. Based on the Seven Points of Mind Training by the 11th-century Buddhist mystic Atisha, The Book of Wisdom removes the dust of tradition that has gathered around meditation, conveying the essential science and methodology of the practice with a freshness and spontaneity that is rarely found in contemporary spiritual works.

This series of talks is on one of the most esoteric treatises in the world. It will show you the way to become more than the body and the way to bloom - how not to remain a seed but to become a golden flower. What, in India, they call the one thousand-petalled lotus, in China they call the golden flower. It is a symbol that represents perfection, totality. Moreover, the flower represents the actualization of the potential - the beauty, the grandeur, the splendor of being.

Publisher's Summary
"I have given you freedom, and I have given you individuality, and I have given you just a little taste of something that is always yours. You just have to claim it."
The Magic of Self-Respect is the second volume in a series titled Authentic Living. So much of the experience of everyday life, says Osho in this insightful guide, is shaped by religious and social conditioning - and we are not even aware of the fact. We are constantly being pulled away from the unique nature that is our birthright. In place of that original and unique self, a false self, called the "ego", is constructed, and it eventually gains control of our creativity, our ideas about what it means to be successful, our relationships, and our very experience of who we are. At the same time, he argues, the collection of egos known as "society" shapes our political, educational, and religious institutions, which in turn combine to force the same old patterns onto new generations.
In this series Osho shows how to discard these old patterns in favor of a new and nurturing trinity of watchfulness, awareness, and alertness. The talks that are published in this Authentic Living series were given by Osho in the United States as the beginning of a new phase of his work.

An original thinker -- beyond the mind!
This recording has a lot of childhood stories of osho's mischief which are hilarious! And it contains a lot of original thinking, which is a trademark of Osho. Responding to others calling his movement a cult, he says that modern so-called religions are all cults:
"Religion is basically rebellion against dead traditions, meaningless conventions, it is a revolution. To bring birth of a new man, a new consciousness. The cult is not concerned with the new man. The cult wants the new man never to be born."
All spiritual traditions teach surrender to either God or guru. But not Osho:
"I do not teach the ego, hence I cannot teach surrender. Because surrender is nothing but the subtlest form of the ego. Surrender is not against the ego, it is an in fact an act of the ego. Who surrenders? And by surrendering, who becomes humble? Who becomes meek? It is the ego standing upside down. It makes no difference whether the ego standing on its legs or on its head, In fact it is more dangerous when it is on it's head because you will not be able to recognize it."

Deep Osho
This is one for someone who has spent much time with his other books, talks, or time with him. If a critic or beginner listens to this they will not understand . However, this book is most intimate, and revealing. People who are not on the path of awakening, self realization, or who don't already love Osho should start elsewhere.

Amazing!!!
The delusion under which the human animal exists is amazing!!! However, like a frog in a frying pan under low heat, we never realize that this low heat of cultural conditioning is killing our pure freedom of being, just as the frog is eventually fried. However the blessing of listening to an awakened being like Osho sparks the realization that we are all pure beings when the delusion is seen through.
