Ousted from India, he sought to create the perfect and most free community, choosing a remote corner of the U. Controversy erupted, and the man who called himself Zorba the Buddha became persona non grata the world over. To read about this unorthodox teacher in his own words is certainly entertaining, and although not without internal contradictions, the book is valuable for its relentless challenge to the sacred tenets of established religious thought. Like the best Zen master, Osho forces us to reconsider our conventions.

Read reviews that mention osho spiritual truth religion words buddha teacher lived saw spirituality teachings talks enlightenment body path perhaps human unique guru enlightened. There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. Kindle Edition Verified Purchase. I truly believe that Osho was enlightened; there is no doubting his description of his awakening process: That alone, if anything, should garner respect and attention it sure did mine.

What he then did with his enlightenment is what makes him a rebel.

Most controversies surrounding him are addressed here, some in more depth than others, but what I take away from the book are two things: If you are at all spiritually inclined, I wholeheartedly recommend this book; it may just change your life and most likely will see you scouring Amazon for other Osho books. I remember reading Machiavelli's The Prince in high school Reading OSHO can be the very same experience, provided you follow the clear guidance to ask questions.

As Frank Herbert pointed out, "Fear is the mindkiller," and for those seeking answers to why we are here, and how we can go about finding that place we believe exists for us, the book is a very funny, serious, inquisitive, and challenging manual to guide us in our search. For background purposes, neither of my parents were religious Dad raised Jewish, Mom raised Catholic , I considered myself Buddhist for many years, with a hope of Castaneda-like pursuit of understanding, and ultimately followed my path, to become a completed Lakota sun dancer Do yourself the favor - read this book; keep it around and also OSHO's Book of Understanding , and pull it out once in a while, to genuflect on how your search for Spirituality is going.

When we look to receive answers, we don't do the work. Read about how someone did the work, and then go do your own! Yes, he was a special man but it may be because he wanted to be himself. One person found this helpful. This is a great book and if you are interested in Osho, as I am, you will truly enjoy this book. He really is an "incorrect" mystic and when you read the book you will KNOW why.

He is quite a colorful, learned man and had some really interesting things to tell the world. I wish I knew him when he was in body. I never allowed anybody to do this work on my behalf--because nobody can do this work on your behalf; you have to do it yourself. Why existence should have chosen that small village in the first place is unexplainable.

It is as it should be. The village was beautiful. I have traveled far and wide, but I have never come across that same beauty. One never comes again to the same. Things come and go, but it is never the same.

I can see that still, small village. Just a few huts near a pond, and a few tall trees where I used to play. There was no school in the village. That is of great importance, because I remained uneducated for almost nine years, and those are the most formative years. After that, even if you try, you cannot be educated. So in a way I am still uneducated, although I hold many degrees--and not just any degree, but a first-class master''s degree.

Any fool can do that; so many fools do it every year that it has no significance. What is significant is that for my first years I remained without education. There was no school, no road, no railway, no post office.

That small village was a world unto itself. Even in my times away from that village I remained in that world, uneducated. And I have come across millions of people, but the people of that village were more innocent than any, because they were very primitive. They knew nothing of the world. Not even a single newspaper had ever entered that village--you can now understand why there was no school.

Not even a primary school--what a blessing! No modern child can afford it. Sometimes children were even married when they were still in their mother''s womb. Just two friends would decide: But if one is a boy and another is a girl, the marriage is settled. And people kept their word. My own mother was married when she was seven years old. My father was not more than ten years old, and he had no understanding of what washappening. I used to ask him, "What was the most significant thing that you enjoyed in your wedding?

For the first time he was dressed like a king, with a knife hanging by his side, and he was sitting on the horse and everybody was walking around him. He enjoyed it tremendously. That was the thing he enjoyed most about his wedding. A honeymoon was out of the question. Where will you send a ten-year-old boy and a seven-year-old girl for a honeymoon? So in India the honeymoon never used to exist, and in the past, nowhere else in the world either. When my father was ten years old and my mother was seven years old, my father''s mother died.

After the marriage, perhaps one or two years afterward, the whole responsibility fell on my mother, who was only nine years old. My father''s mother had left two small daughters and two small boys. So there were four children, and the responsibility to care for them fell on a nine-year-old girl and a twelve-year-old son.

My father''s father never liked to live in the city where he had his shop. He loved the countryside, and when his wife died he was absolutely free. The government used to give land to people for free, because there was so much land and there were not so many people to cultivate it. So my grandfather got fifty acres of land from the government, and he left the whole shop in the hands of his children--my father and mother--who were only twelve and nine years old. He enjoyed creating a garden, creating a farm, and he loved to live there in the open air.

He hated the city. So my father never had any experience of the freedom of young people today.

He never became a youth in that way. Before he could have become a youth he was already old, taking care of his younger brothers and sisters and the shop. And by the time he was twenty he had to arrange marriages for his sisters, marriages and education for his brothers. I have never called my mother "Mother," because before I was born she was taking care of four children who used to call her bhabhi. Bhabhi means "brother''s wife. I learned it from the very beginning, when four other children were calling her that.

Those two old people were alone and they wanted a child who wouldbe the joy of their last days. So my father and mother agreed: I was their eldest child, the firstborn; they sent me. I don''t remember any relationship with my father''s family in the early years of my childhood.
