Be Still and Know

Zusatztext

"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 Rocks No Sin, No Virtue No Question, No Answer You Are Ancient Pilgrims Watch This! Stranger than Fiction Only Now Is Thanks for the Compliment! Just for Your Sake He Died Enlightened Me, Enlightened? © & ¿ 1979 Osho International Foundation

For more information about Osho and his work, please visit  www.OSHO.com Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today. His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. (Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho) 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 has often characterized 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 Gautam Buddha.
