About the Book

Product Description"Day in day out, everyone?s mind is full of thoughts. But where do they come from? Are they independent thoughts or are they concepts and doctrines borrowed from other people? Have they been assimilated from parents or teachers? From religious or political leaders?In this series of talks given at a meditation camp, Osho describes what ?thinking? really means: the freedom to live an independent life, consciously, and with trust in one?s own experience. ?A person who accumulates thoughts will become a scholar. A person who gives birth to thinking - gives birth to the ability to think, asks questions and challenges his consciousness and then waits for the answer - in his life, knowing is born. It is not through thoughts that you attain knowing but through thinking. Not by collecting thoughts, but by giving birth to thinking? Osho?What I mean by the thinking state is that you should have eyes, what I mean is the ability to think on your own. But I don?t mean a crowd of thoughts. We all have a crowd of thoughts within us, but we don?t have thinking within us. So many thoughts go on moving within us, but the power of thinking has not been awakened? Osho"About the AuthorOsho defies categorization. His thousands of talks cover everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing society today. Osho?s books are not written but are transcribed from audio and video recordings of his extemporaneous talks to international audiences. As he puts it, ?So remember: whatever I am saying is not just for you... I am talking also for the future generations.? Osho has been described by The Sunday Times in London as one of the ?1000 Makers of the 20th Century? and by American author Tom Robbins as ?the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.? Sunday Mid-Day (India) has selected Osho as one of ten people - along with Gandhi, Nehru and Buddha - who have changed the destiny of India. About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He often characterizes this new human being as ?Zorba the Buddha? - capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautama the Buddha. Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho?s talks and meditations is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of all ages past and the highest potential of today?s (and tomorrow?s) science and technology. Osho is known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, with an approach to meditation that acknowledges the accelerated pace of contemporary life. His unique OSHO Active Meditations? are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is then easier to take an experience of stillness and thought-free relaxation into daily life.

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
