TANTRA - The Supreme Understanding

Kabir is a 15th-century Indian mystic. Born a lower-caste weaver, Kabir opposed superstition, empty ritualism, and bigotry. His teachings include scathing attacks against Brahmanical pride, caste prejudice, and the very concept of untouchability and exposed the dogmatism and bigotry he perceived around him. Unusually, even for his time, he was embraced by disciples who had been raised in both Hindu and Muslim traditions, who saw in him the embodiment of a life-affirmative approach that transcended the narrow dogmas that divide people and set them against one another. 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.

The Path of Love

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. This treatise, The Secret of Secrets: The Secret of the Golden Flower, is very ancient, possibly one of the most ancient treatises in the world - at least 25 centuries old. But 25 centuries can be traced back very easily. And this treatise is also, uniquely, a great synthesis of all the great religions. The Bible belongs to the Christians, the Talmud belongs to the Jews, the Vedas belong to the Hindus, the Dhammapada to the Buddhists, the Tao Te Ching to the Taoists. But this small book, The Secret of Secrets: The Secret of the Golden Flower, belongs to no one in particular, or it belongs to all. It is heavily based on Taoist teachings, a flowering of the Taoist approach to life and existence. But it is not only that. Zarathustra has played a role; his teachings are incorporated within it. Buddhist teachings have also been integrated, and a certain esoteric school of Christians, the Nestorians, have played their part. It is one of the most synthetical approaches. These 31 talks will introduce you to a world of consciousness, meditation, and a transformative space - it's a pure joy to listen to Osho. ©1978 OSHO International Foundation ℗ 2025 OSHO International Foundation

The Secret of Secrets

Not believing, but only experiencing, says Osho in this inspiring series of talks, is a way of finding truth and meaning. While Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead, therefore man is free" was an incredible step in understanding, he argues, it is in itself a negative solution and does not bring freedom. Simply removing God is not enough. Osho is no atheist by far and not in favor of any "anti-believe" system either. "It is meditation that fulfills your inner being and takes away the vacuum that used to be filled by a great lie, God." In The God Conspiracy, Osho offers a solution beyond Nietzsche - meditation, a direct connection with existence itself. Here, he shows how Zen and meditation allow us to find meaning and significance, creativity, receptivity, and a path to freedom. Zen has no God, but it has a tremendous power to transform our consciousness, to bring so much awareness that committing evil becomes inconceivable. In this series of talks, one of the very last talks in Osho's life, he sums up the message of his life and argues persuasively that transformation cannot be imposed, but must come from one's innermost being and understanding. With the meditations at the end of each talk, into which Osho guides his audience, the listeners are given exquisite experience of meditation, of a let-go and a rebirth.

Spiritually Incorrect

The God Conspiracy

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 reader in a manner that is lucid, straightforward and humorous. Osho weaves his own unique insights into this profound ancient wisdom and expands its meaning for our time, discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment. As we travel with the Buddha on a path of radical wisdom, we'll laugh or shake our heads at the folly, the ineptitude, or the goodness of the characters in the stories—and gain knowledge and understanding at the same time. Osho engages us at every level to help us experience the Buddha's teachings and take in their timeless truths. A powerful, inspirational gem of a series of talks recorded in an outdoor auditorium with several thousands of people in his audience. This is an abridged edition of an original series of talks by Osho titled, "The Discipline of Transcendence".

The Buddha Said

'OSHO SINGLE': This is an "Osho Single", a short audio selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks. We all feel sometimes like a stranger to ourselves, with uncomfortable feelings of having lost direction in life, feeling insecure and missing a kind of authenticity and centeredness in life. In a society where ideals of eternal happiness and beauty are dominating our life around the clock and being sad looks like failure. Understanding that life is not a 'selfie', always smiling and bubbling with happiness, Osho opens a different perspective in this talk, responding to a series of questions, which embraces life in a more total way, a life where insecurity is beautiful, a moving and changing world is embraced and discomfort, uneasiness and uprootedness are becoming part of an adventure called life. © & ℗ 1975 OSHO International Foundation

Life as Celebration

The message of Tantra endorses Osho's understanding that only through total acceptance of ourselves can we grow. Osho speaks on Tantra meditation techniques (let go and surrender), and tantric love and spirituality in sex. Here the Tantra message — don't live a repressed life, otherwise you don't live at all — is made accessible and understandable to modern man, who will learn to live a life of expression, creativity, and joy. ©1977 OSHO International Foundation (P)2015 OSHO International Foundation

TANTRA The Way of Acceptance

Using the Upanishadic vision, Osho contrasts the teachings of Buddha, J. Krishnamurti and the Vedas, and explains how these different teachings have relevance to the way we live today. "This Upanishad we are entering today is the smallest, it can be written on a postcard, and yet it is the greatest document in existence. There is no document of such luminosity, of such profoundness anywhere in the whole history of humanity." 1. The World of the Upanishads 2. The Upanishads Are a Totally New Beginning 3.

I Am That

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. The book is a guide for inner discipline and transformation that is also highly accessible, incorporating light, often humorous question-and-answer sessions between Osho and his audience that help listeners make the practical connection between spiritual theory and meditation as a lifestyle. In 28 talks alternating between commentaries on Atisha and responding to questions, Osho takes us into a world of wisdom. 1. Atisha the Thrice Great 2. The Lilies in the Field Are Enlightened 3.

The Book of Wisdom

Moving beyond the usual interpretations of this classic Chinese text - that of using it as an indicator of what to do next or attempting to predict the future - Osho is using the Tao Te Ching as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight. His commentaries on these seven verses burn through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal-clear light as Lao Tzu. Tao, like Osho, is the way of wholeness: not dividing or denying anything, simply remaining choiceless and aware. You will find yourself listening to this series as if it were a waterfall; as you listen, you will come to understand the emptiness that puts us in touch with the eternal and makes bliss and ecstasy possible.

Absolute Tao

The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE. Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That's why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha. It is very simple in its approach, very direct. It is, in essence the whole of Buddha's message, but very simple, not elaborate and very scholarly as other Buddhist scriptures are. 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. Far from being just a statue, here Buddha is an amazing human being so far ahead of his time that even now he is only just beginning to be more widely understood. In these talks Osho discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment. The talks in this audiobook are a series of original OSHO Talks, titled "The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol.1".

The Discipline of Transcendence

Finding Your Own Way

If you are interested in knowing how to take an inner journey, how to find your soul - read on! In these talks, Osho introduces his audience to Zen, with its emphasis on being alert and attentive to the simplest acts of ordinary life as a way to experience meditation. Zen stories serve as starting points for several talks in the series, illuminating the nature of that rare human capacity to transcend the limits of the rational mind. As often happens with Osho, the talks oscillate between commentaries on selected texts, in this case some beautiful anecdotes from the world of Zen, and questions from disciples and other seekers. And, as always, Osho's interest is not scholarly at all but existential: how to point us toward the "Beyondness" from which he speaks. Although Zen tradition was certainly the one closest to his heart, Osho was independent of all traditions. In fact during the last year of his life, he talked exclusively about Zen, albeit a more relaxed, humorous form than the traditional rather rigid and disciplined monastic version. Osho always emphasized that the real important thing was not what he was saying but the gaps, the profound silence between the words, and that one should listen to him like to the wind playing with the leaves, or like listening to music. In this series you will come across a wide spectrum of views and questions related to the human search for higher dimensions of life. And it's certainly a beautiful finger pointing to the moon of truth beyond words and concepts. He takes us into a space from which the existential jump to meditation can happen. The moment when the eternal perfection opens up, the moment all you can say is, "Ah this!" The Heart of Knowing Is NowNeti NetiI Am HigherDying Into the MasterSee Right at OnceTry It My WayTake No NoticeNot Knowing Is the Most Intimate© & ℗1980 OSHO International Foundation

Ah This!

Osho responds to questions and speaks about psychological concepts as presented by Freud, Jung, Adler and Assagioli and others, comparing their theories with the Eastern practice of meditation. While psychologist and physicians approach the body and the mind separately as illness, Osho exams the wider human condition and the underlying issue which he calls a "spiritual illness". He points out that every individual longs for freedom and is surrounded by restrictive systems that deny this fundamental right. Self-realization is according to Osho to be free in an unfree society, and to be happy in a miserable world. © & ℗ 1975 OSHO International Foundation

Being Free in an Unfree Society

We have lost touch with who we are and how we want to live. It started at birth. From birth we are molded according to the beliefs and ideals of others, and our own potential is ignored. It needs immense courage to go your own way, leaving the crowd behind. The moment you do it you are taking responsibility for your life in your own hands. Osho reminds us that it is a step worth taking. © & ℗ 1987 OSHO International Foundation

Accepting Myself the Way I Am

'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world. The word Christ came into existence 300 years after Jesus; and out of the word Christ developed Christian and Christianity. While Friedrich Nietzsche stated that Christ was the last Christian, according to Osho, Jesus was not only the last Christian, but he was also the first Christian–the first and the last Christian, because in this world no individual is ever repeated. In this talk, Osho dives into the unknown history of Jesus and early Christianity in India, which he describes as the oldest in the world. The Vatican is a late development. Like a lecture in comparative religion, Osho presents Christianity in a wider context of Hinduism, Buddhism, and even Zen. © & ℗ 1985 OSHO International Foundation

All of the Osho audiobooks are created from his extemporaneous talks, and in this selection they reflect the intimate setting in which they were given, with small audiences of those gathered in the Oregon commune around him. Everything is on the table - belief in God, the meaning of compassion, what happens when we die. In sharing stories from his own life, bringing new insights to old parables, and challenging his listeners to examine their own conscious and unconscious beliefs, he begins to create a new and more authentic "narrative" about what we human beings are doing on this planet, and why we are here.

Authentic Living

The Beauty of the Human Soul

"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. Chapter 1: Innocence Is PowerChapter 2: Jesus, the Only Forgotten Son of GodChapter 3: Priests Are the Devil's AgentChapter 4: Religion Is RebellionChapter 5: Unfortunately for this chapter no audio recording exists because Osho's secretary at the time tried to censor Osho's statements, as Osho began in this talk to expose her. The complete talk was later re-constructed based on direct transcripts and statements of the people in the room, but is unfortunately only available in the book and not as recording.

The Magic of Self-Respect

From the series: "YOGA – The Science of the Soul". Can Yoga make you happy - What is the secret of happiness? While the practice of Yoga is now being widely embraced by the West in context with health benefits, body flexibility and as a relaxation method, in a world where most of us now have on a material level almost everything we need, the spiritual aspects and questions of quality of life, happiness and well-being are center stage questions now. To be happy is now more valued than material riches, money and prestige which many have but realize that they did not find happiness through them. In the series of talks titled Yoga – The Science of the Soul, Osho explores the original Yoga sutras of Patanjali, bringing their timeless wisdom into the modern world. The complete series consists of ten volumes, each with ten extraordinary talks that address key issues across many dimensions of our lives. Hidden within these ancient scriptures—and revealed through Osho's powerful interpretation—are incredible teachings and timeless lessons. One of the chapters of this audiobook gives the series its subtitle: " How to Become More Beautiful and Happy". Happiness is a deeply explored topic here, with far-reaching implications for our personal well-being. According to ordinary thinking to be friendly with someone who is happy is very easy. The truth is it is not! In fact, is one of the most difficult things in life. If somebody is happy, immediately you are shocked – how is it possible? How come you're not happy the other is? This seems like injustice. With the happy you feel jealous – in a subtle competition. You feel inferior with happy people. You may show your happiness, but that's just a facade, a show, a mask. Learn about the secret and once the secret is known, once you know how one becomes happier, and how with others' happiness you create a situation for yourself to be happy, there is no barrier; you can go as far as you like. Learn the secret of being happy with the whole universe, with every flower, river, rock and star; become one with this continuous eternal celebration.

Yoga: The Science of the Soul

The Heart of Yoga

In Tantric Transformation, we are introduced to the sacred and ancient tradition of tantra by a contemporary tantric master Osho. We are given a detailed map of tantra: inner man, inner woman; the meeting of man and woman; the transformation of energy through sex, love, and meditation. Based on the Royal Song of Saraha, we are not just introduced to an Asian sex tradition, but with Osho we enter the higher levels of transformation. Here, we find tantra as a door to freedom: freedom from all mind constructs and mind games; freedom from all structures; and freedom from the other. Love and meditation merge and provide a path to liberation. Tantric Transformation is a very alive, concrete audiobook for exploration of our own energy, of our own inner space. You don't just listen to Osho; you undefine yourself. (See The Tantra Experience by Osho - part of the same series.)

Tantric Transformation

Humans have an inbuilt drive to search for their inner power and potentiality. This search is the search for life itself. We are here, we have life - but we don't know what life really is. We can feel our energy, but don't know where this energy comes from and to what goal this energy is going. We are that energy; we have glimpses of its true source and our connection to it, and those glimpses keep us going even when it seems we will never find what we are seeking - but still we do not know what that energy is. An ancient Zen story symbolizes this search for the source of this life. Zen master Kakuan's story of The Ten Bulls of Zen is a teaching that uses 10 images, each representing a particular step on the journey of experiencing and understanding what it means to be a conscious and aware human being. Osho takes us through this story and its lessons for the traveler on a journey into the inner world - that's what meditation is all about, according to him. But reaching the pure, uncluttered freedom of meditation is not the end. The circle is only complete when the seeker comes back into the marketplace of the world but as a transformed person.Like a Zen teacher, Osho takes us into a timelessness and space - indescribable. This is a series that belongs in the ears of everyone who is on the search, beginning the search, or just thinking about the search.

The Search

In The Secret , Osho introduces us to the world of love, and initiates us into the ways of love. The context is the world of the Sufis – a spiritual tradition known to many through the Persian poet and mystic Rumi. Sufis talk about two kinds of love. One they call the ordinary love, lukewarm, momentary, partial. One moment it is there, another moment it is gone. It has no depth, no intensity. You call it passion, but it is not passionate. It is not such a flame which can burn you. You don't become aflame with it; it remains something under your control. You don't become possessed by it; you don't lose yourself in it. You remain in control. The other kind of love, the real love, the authentic love, the love with total intensity – one is lost in it. That world of love becomes an open secret when Osho unlocks the inner wisdom of colorful Sufi stories and parables. He illustrates many points with jokes, as he responds to the Sufi stories as well as to listeners' questions about everyday experiences – including love, education, knowledge and wisdom, doubt and trust, freedom and responsibility, sex and death.

The Secret

'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world. In this talk Osho reminds us that the world is a cosmos not a chaos. Then why do we experience it as chaotic? Because we experience the world through our mind, and the mind is by its very nature chaotic. The way out of this chaotic mess is through meditation. It is through meditation that you can experience life in all its mystery without the filters if the mind. Through cathartic meditation techniques in particular you can dissolve the chaos and create space for more celebration. In the world of consciousness, nothing helps like celebration. Your energy has to be creative. If you don't use it for happiness, your energy will move to unhappiness and worrying. Sounds like a no-brainer, doesn't it? © & ℗ 1975 OSHO International Foundation

Chaos Is the Very Nature of the Mind

'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world. Love and hate aren't opposites—they're reflections of the same emotional energy. Osho reveals how understanding this paradox can lead to deeper awareness and true freedom. In this thought-provoking talk, Osho explores the deep and often uncomfortable connection between love and hate. He invites listeners to move beyond the duality of attraction and aversion, passion and resentment. He challenges conventional ideas about relationships, emotions, and attachment, offering a radical path toward deeper awareness and inner freedom. "Love and hate are just two sides of the same coin. But with love something very drastic has happened. It is unimaginable how this drastic step was taken by people who had all the good intentions in the world. You may never have even suspected what has destroyed love. It is the continuous teaching of love that has destroyed it. Hate is still pure - love is not." Whether you're navigating the highs and lows of love, or trying to understand the roots of conflict in your life, this audiobook offers clarity, compassion, and a transformative shift in perspective. © & ℗ 1986 OSHO International Foundation

Love and Hate

'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world. In this compelling exploration of emotional life, Osho delves into the unconscious—the hidden basement of the mind where repressed emotions like anger, guilt, fear, and jealousy reside. Osho's unique insight into the human mind and heart goes far beyond conventional psychology. He teaches us to experience our emotions fully and to deal with them creatively in order to achieve a richer, fuller life. Discover: The impact that fear, anger, and jealousy have on our livesHow emotions like guilt, insecurity, and fear are used to manipulate usHow to break out of unhealthy responses to strong emotionsHow to transform destructive emotions into creative energyThe role of society and culture on our individual emotional styles"Unconsciousness is the basement of the mind. In your unconscious many things are buried which find expression through your conscious. For example, millions of people watch boxing or football matches and really get excited; and they never think about what they are watching. In boxing they are watching sheer violence. But there is enjoyment; this is the expression of hidden violence in you. Society has managed man with an absolutely wrong strategy. The idea of the society has been, that if something is thrown into the basement, into the darkness of the unconscious, you are finished with it. That is not the case. You are not finished with it. It will come up in different form -- and with a vengeance. And it will go on collecting." "Suppression has been the way, for the whole history, to keep man civilized -- but in fact, it has been the cause of keeping man only superficially civilized, skin-deep civilized. Just scratch anybody a little and you will find the barbarous, the primitive, the animal, all hidden behind him." © & ℗ 1986 OSHO International Foundation

Emotional Wellness

'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world. In this powerful and intimate talk, Osho responds to a question that echoes in many hearts: *"Why am I always running so fast? Is there something that I don't want to see?" With clarity and compassion, Osho explores the deeper truths behind our constant restlessness. He reveals how most of us are unknowingly running from ourselves—afraid to stop, to be still, and to look within. "It is not only you; almost everybody is running as fast as they can—from themselves. And the problem is, you cannot run away from yourself. Wherever you go, you will be yourself. The fear is of knowing oneself. It is the greatest fear in the world." This is not just a philosophical musing—it is an invitation to pause, to witness, and to experience the miracle of meditation. A single, potent teaching from Osho that can open the door to deeper awareness and peace. © & ℗ 1986 OSHO International Foundation

Every Human Being Is a Seeker of Truth

The Sutra of 42 Chapters is a scripture complied in the first century CE. Each saying comes from Buddha, but the whole work was a new anthology created especially for introducing Buddhism in a new country. That's why it makes such a good, basic introduction to the world view of Gautam Buddha. It is very simple in its approach, very direct. It is, in essence the whole of Buddha's message, but very simple, not elaborate and very scholarly as other Buddhist scriptures are. 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. Far from being just a statue, here Buddha is an amazing human being so far ahead of his time that even now he is only just beginning to be more widely understood. In these talks Osho discusses the need for doubt and argument in the spiritual search, the nature of desire and the discipline of non-attachment. The talks in this audiobook are a series of original OSHO Talks, titled "The Discipline of Transcendence, Vol.2".

Dancing In The Breeze

Priests and Politicians - The Mafia of the Soul How politics and religion conspire against humanity Introduction by Maneesha James. "For five thousand years the politician and the priest have been in the same business." During his stay in the United States at the time of the Ronald Reagan administration, Osho continues his public talks after a more than three-year period of silence. In his talks he continues to speak of personal transformation and the significance of meditation in daily life. In addition, he also talks extensively on social and political issues, which seem to be more contemporary than ever today. "Priests and Politicians – The Mafia of the Soul" is a title Osho gives to a book after his return to India. Bearing the same title, this audiobook features related original excerpts from his talks on this subject. We are invited to look through his microscope to examine not only the profound influence of religion and politics in society, but also its influence in our inner world. We have been brainwashed by priests and politicians, internalizing and adopting their views and values as our own. According to Osho the belief systems of the "powers that be", have imprisoned us, tragically crippling our vision of what is actually possible. Thus, unaware of our real potential, we keep only digging ourselves deeper into the mess we are in. Osho's vision for humanity is that a new kind of world is possible — but only if we understand clearly how the old has functioned up to now. And, based on that understanding, we take the responsibility and the courage to become a new kind of human being. Priests and politicians are the "professionals" that people usually turn to for help. Osho, in his unique way, exposes both of them as the "real criminals", working hand-in-hand against the interests of humanity and of individuality. In Osho's words: "You have to be aware who the real criminals are. The problem is that those criminals are thought to be great leaders, sages, saints, mahatmas. So, I have to expose all these people because they are the causes. For example, it is easier to understand that perhaps politicians are the causes of many problems: wars, murders, massacres, burning people. It is more difficult when it comes to religious leaders, because nobody has raised his hand against them. They have remained respectable for centuries, and as time goes on, their respectability goes on growing. The most difficult job for me is to make you aware that these people — knowingly or unknowingly, that does not matter — have created this world." This audiobook consists of nine chapters: Chapter 1 Politicians the Successful CriminalsChapter 2 People on a Power TripChapter 3 Separation of the Church and the StateChapter 4 Religion Is an Inquiry into TruthChapter 5 Love Is the Center of the UniverseChapter 6 Happiness Attracts HappinessChapter 7 Government Is a Condemnation of Every One of UsChapter 8 Tyrants Talk the Most About Peace and FreedomChapter 9 America Behaved with Me and My People like CowardsThese talks are a selection of excerpts from the original series previously published as "From Darkness to Light" and "Satyam Shivam Sundaram" by Osho. © 1985, 1987 Osho International Foundation ℗ 2024 Osho International Foundation

Priests and Politicians

Born with a Question Mark in Your Heart continues the Authentic Living series by Osho with talks by the contemporary mystic during his stay in the United States. Osho says: "It is fortunate that man is born with a question mark, otherwise he would be just another species of animal." "Questions are there - man is born with questions, with a big question mark in his heart - and it is good." These questions are driving human exploration to find out who we actually are. No ready-made answer given by priests, politicians, teachers, or parents can find the answer. This series of talks supports a radical questioning of traditional belief systems in religious, political, and social dimensions. Here Osho encourages listeners to ask questions that are immediate and existentially significant - not borrowed or intellectual questions, but questions with an existential significance. Born with a Question Mark in Your Heart promotes personal transformation through experience and spirituality without organized religion.

Born with a Question Mark in Your Heart

Danger: Truth at Work is the first in a series titled Authentic Living and goes to the heart of our most fundamental human issues. Why can't we just live happily and be content? While we seem to have all the knowledge we need to solve our problems, we haven't. In this timely audio series, Osho explains that religious conditioning has held us back. "The religious prophets, the political leaders, the moral lawgivers - you have respected them, not even suspecting that they are the cause of your misery." Osho calls this process of spiritual renewal a "dry cleaning of the mind". The process allows us to go beyond religious and social conditioning and develop what Osho calls a real reverence for life, going beyond divisions. 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. Each chapter covers a different aspect of this conditioning and, in gentle but persuasive language, shows how to transcend it. Individual chapters include "The Nuclear Family: The Imminent Meltdown"; "Pseudo-Religion: The Stick-on Soul"; "They Say Believe, I Say Explore"; "Ecstasy Is Now: Why Wait?"; and others. Chapter 1 Pseudo-religion — the stick-on soulChapter 2 I call it reverence for lifeChapter 3 Politics and the will-to-powerChapter 4 Danger — Truth at WorkChapter 5 Ecstasy is now — why wait?Chapter 6 Transformation, not renunciationChapter 7 Nature is all there isChapter 8 God is not a solution but a problemChapter 9 I teach a religionless religionChapter 10 God — the nobody everybody knowsChapter 11 Truth — not a dogma but a danceChapter 12 Faith is the suicide of intelligenceChapter 13 Ecstasy is knowing that nobody is holding your handChapter 14 Society crowds you out; meditation outs your crowdChapter 15 They say believe; I say exploreOther titles in the Authentic Living series : Magic of Self Respect Born with a Question Mark in Your Heart The Beauty of the Human Soul This audiobook is a selection of talks (Chapters 1-15) from an original series previously published as From Ignorance to Innocence by Osho, given to a live audience. © ℗ 1984,2025 OSHO International Foundation

Danger: Truth at Work

In these delightful and playful talks, Osho introduces the mystery, the wonder and the emptiness that is Zen, not comparable to anything else and a completely different approach to life. The chapters alternate between elaborating original excerpts by the 14th Zen master, Ikkyu, taking us into the world of Zen – and responding to personal questions, which brings the world of Zen into our lives, connects with our issues and questions. Listening to this series, recorded in India in an open-air auditorium with a live audience, we are listening to a Zen master – this is not intellectualized learning about Zen, not a lecture – but direct experiencing, which touches the being and helps our transformation. Zen and Osho's whole message is to experience the essence of emptiness, that blissful state of no-mind where this endlessly chattering mind with old conditionings stops running out of control and we are free to be ourselves.

Take It Easy

What if Jesus were not a supernatural being conceived by a virgin but a real human being who had experienced the awakening of consciousness known as "enlightenment" in the East? This extraordinary line-by-line commentary on some of the best-known New Testament Gospels from Matthew and John tests the hypothesis that Jesus was a mystic, not a miracle worker of supernatural origin. Osho convincingly makes the case that the stories of Jesus' life were never meant to be a factual record of history but rather are teaching parables designed to provide ongoing spiritual guidance for generations to come. I Say unto You introduces a dynamic, compassionate, intelligent, loving Jesus who speaks in a plain and simple way that everyone can understand. Osho looks with a crystal-clear perception at Jesus' work, revealing the parables and miracles as metaphors of the inner world. He gives insight into Jesus' own search and his journeys to the ancient mystery schools of Egypt, Kashmir, and Tibet that transformed him into one of the most evolved masters of the paths of love and meditation. His insights are so relevant for today's societies, where the sharp functioning of the mind is more valued than the intelligence of the heart. A fascinating series of talks in which Osho gives his own interpretation of some of the most important phrases and parabolas of Jesus. He introduces us to a Jesus seen through the eyes of awareness and consciousness.

I Say Unto You

The Heart Sutra , originally a very short set of verses, was given in privacy as a message to one of Buddha's close disciples, Sariputra, specifically addressed to him. Over time the Heart Sutra became one of Buddhism's core teachings. In these 10 talks, Osho presents the powerful message of these ancient words and brings them to a modern audience - one with different minds and needs than the original audiences of Buddha more than 2,500 years ago. Osho's message is not about Buddha the historical figure; instead he addresses his listeners and encourages them to discover their own inner realities, their own buddhahood. Like Buddha's, Osho's message is about meditation and meditation alone - "rely only on your meditation and nothing else". Osho also speaks on the seven chakras, the energy centers of the human body, and their corresponding relationships to the physical, psychosomatic, psychological, psychospiritual, spiritual, spiritual-transcendental, and transcendental aspects of human growth and consciousness. 1.

The Heart Sutra

Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind, and there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. Here, the contemporary mystic Osho brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories, showing that Zen is a way of dissolving philosophical problems, not of solving them - a way of getting rid of philosophy, because philosophy is a sort of neurosis. Zen is for those intelligent enough to understand the limitations of the intellect and ready to recognize the significance of intuition in the world of mysticism. Throughout these talks he is explaining what meditation is and how to trust in your own consciousness and intuition and thus reach maturity. Osho also responds to many questions from seekers and mediators about personal growth and self-discovery and talks in depth on life, death, and love.

Ancient Music in the Pines

According to Osho, laughter is "the very essence of Zen". And while the theme of these talks is that meditation - watching, remaining alert and aware - is the path to self-realization, Osho encourages us first to "be happy, and meditation will follow". Through Zen stories, jokes and answers to questions, Osho highlights our conditioning - our learned social and cultural behavior and beliefs - as the barrier to our natural state of happiness. Wielding his words like a humorous, compassionate Zen stick, Osho shows us how we can begin to recognize our conditioning and see that it is not the same as our authentic self.

A Sudden Clash of Thunder

Ecstasy: The Forgotten Language invites us to rediscover our natural state of ecstasy. We have lost touch with our intrinsic nature, says Osho, because we no longer live existential lives; we put our whole focus on our private lives. We have lost contact with the real and live almost entirely in our minds, in our imaginations. This makes us dull and unhappy and unavailable for what life is really offering us. Society and civilizations originally evolved to support and protect us, but now the situation has reversed and instead we find ourselves existing to sustain them. One outcome of this reversal is that society supports misery rather than our natural ecstasy because an ecstatic person is a rebellious individual who cannot be enslaved by any ideology or structure. The words of Kabir - a mystic, a weaver, and a poet who can touch the earth and catch the stars with his transcendent verses - are the starting point for these inspiring talks on how to live our lives to their utmost potential. "Religiousness is the science of how to find the forgotten language of ecstasy. Whenever you are in tune with existence, there is ecstasy, there is bliss, there is benediction."

Ecstasy the Forgotten Language

Nirvana has become an idealized word associated with the juxtaposition of a cult rock celebrity who died before his time and a vague new age version of Eastern religion. An altered state to be hoped for but likely unattainable, reinforcing that all too familiar uneasiness associated with never being able to have what we truly desire in life. Osho masterfully brings this internal state of tension to the surface and, through the use of five beautiful Zen stories, examines, unravels, and reveals the meaning of nirvana. By absorbing without interpreting, making a decision without worrying if it is the right one, or surrendering to each moment, it is possible to come to a point where we simply drop through the manifestations of the ego. In that moment, living an ordinary life becomes an extraordinary delight.

Nirvana the Last Nightmare

"A Mystic Responding to Questions" is the subtitle to this series. Osho responds in each chapter to a number of questions on many aspects of life and questions on the minds of his audience and friends, including: Meditativeness and science are difficult to reconcile.Why can't I tolerate people who belong to other religions?What is true wisdom?Is life not sometimes far more surprising than fictions themselves?What exactly do you mean by saying, "Be still and know"?Why do I hate homosexuals?I have been so much conditioned as a Catholic that I see no hope for myself. Can you still help me?Can you clear this confusion in me?In this very special series of questions and answers, Osho also talks on the death and enlightenment of his own father, which occurred at this time. "He left the world in utter silence, in joy, in peace. He left the world like a lotus flower - it was worth celebrating. And these are the occasions for you to learn how to live and how to die. Each death should be a celebration, but it can be a celebration only if it leads you to higher planes of existence." -Osho Chapters: Always on the RocksNo Sin, No VirtueNo Question, No AnswerYou Are Ancient PilgrimsWatch This!

Be Still and Know

In Zen, Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing, Osho responds to questions on love, freedom, morality, women's role in society, nostalgia, a child's right to privacy, the purpose of life, and more. Again and again he nudges the listener back to the essential: Zen – awareness, being here and now. While responding to the concerns of the questioners, Osho also illustrates how nonessential their preoccupations are. Whenever questions are academic or "spiritual," Osho hits the questioner's head hard, dismissing such enquiries as games of the ego and even as 'holy cow dung'! Describing how centuries of political and religious slavery have repressed India, Osho lays out a blueprint for the nation to move away from the burdens of the past towards freedom. And between the lines, he offers an invitation to live life to the full, to take its challenges head-on and with a sense of humor.

Zen: Zest, Zip, Zap and Zing

Osho introduces the wild, dancing, sane-crazy world of the Bauls, the mystics of Bengal. With understanding, love, humor, and a touching clarity, he guides us through the songs of the Baul mystics, explaining their view of sex, their concept of the body as a temple, and their secret of surrender to the existential beloved. "I am tremendously happy to introduce you to the world of the Bauls. I hope you will be nourished by it, enriched by it. It is a bizarre world, eccentric, insane. It has to be so, because the world of the so-called sane people is so insane that if you really want to be sane in it, you will have to be insane. You will have to choose a path of your own."

The Beloved

The Beloved Vol.1

Ten talks based on the natural, magical wisdom inherent in the songs of the Bauls of Bengal, those "delicious madmen, mystics, fools and poets". Osho also responds to seekers' questions, and no matter what the question may be, the answers he gives always convey the trust, oneness, and love experienced by the Bauls. Osho says of the Bauls: "Theirs is the path of the dancer, the singer, and the aesthetic man." The essence of their religion is revealed in their song: "Only the connoisseur of the flavors of love can comprehend the language of a lover's heart." These talks will introduce you to the Baul's vision of "the essential man", the god who lives within us all, and Osho's vision of the body and human consciousness. Humanity is split. The very human mind is split because of two extremist life philosophies. Both are exaggerations, both are logical extremes. One is what people call the philosophy of 'eat, drink and be merry', the materialist standpoint that life is just an accident - it is not going anywhere. There isn't any meaning in it, no significance, no coherence. You are not preparing for something. Nothing is going to happen, so you are left in the moment; make the most of it. Many live that way and miss much - because there is purpose, because life is not an accident, because there is a running thread in each moment of eternity, because life is an unfoldment. Something is going to happen. The future is not barren, it is going to be creative. Preparation is needed so that you can unfold, so that your seed can become manifested, so that your essence is achieved, so you can know who you are and what this existence is.

When everything is in chaos, nothing is static, nothing is secure. Who knows what is going to happen next? In such a chaotic moment you are free, you can change. You can escape from your inner prison and attain to the innermost core of your being. In times of great crisis enlightenment is more accessible. The time can be used for your individual growth. The questioning mind is the problem, not the question. When no questions arise, that non-questioning consciousness is the answer to all questions.

Life Is a Purposeless Play

'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world. The world needs workaholics; it needs people to function like machines. The majority of the population has always been poor, their survival dependent on their capacity to be productive. They have been taught to work and to work hard to produce more, and the rich become even richer. Society has lived under this insanity. The state of letting go, of being deeply relaxed is generally called laziness. Although it goes against a workaholic society, it is a basic requirement for sanity. "...let-go is not against work. In fact, let-go transforms work into a creative experience." - Osho © & ℗ 1987 OSHO International Foundation

Being loose and natural will give you a spontaneous awareness, rather than making an effort to reach a certain goal. No effort is going to succeed because the cause of all misery is the doer, the ego, our idea of self. Osho only teaches awareness. Suppression is not the way to buddhahood. Simply relax and be whatsoever you are - and awareness will come by itself. © & ℗ 1975 OSHO International Foundation
