OVERVIEW OF OSHO BOOKS ON LIFE AND LIVING

• The Colours of your Life, Meditation and Transformation Colouring Book
  Color these beautiful images inspired by Osho’s insights – they are lessons on the most important aspects of life.
  These images were meant  for the OSHO Zen Tarot-The Transcendental Game of Zen. 
• The Fabric of Life, On The Songs of The Mystic Kabir
  “Kabir is unique. He gives hope to everyone – it is difficult to find a more ordinary person than Kabir. If Kabir can reach, then everyone can. Kabir is an utterly simple man; so even a simple-hearted person can have hope.
• Life’s Mysteries
  “Osho was perhaps the first of the great teachers who had carefully examined tenets of other faiths; he could rightly claim to be the only teacher who was a scholar of comparative religions. That fact in itself entitled him to be heard with respect.” Kushwant Singh
• Life is a Soap Bubble
  “I teach discontent. I teach you to be discontented with just being a person. Human life is just a temporary stopover on the whole journey of life, not the final destination……..We are a midpoint in a long process of evolution.” Osho
• Life Love Laughter, Celebrating Your Existence
  “Love can exist in two dimensions: either as horizontal or as vertical. We are acquainted with the love which is horizontal. That is also the dimension of time; the vertical is the dimension of eternity.” Osho
• In Love with Life. Reflections of Friedrich Nietzsche’s ‘Also Sprach Zarathustra”
  “If we choose to be conscious, all unconsciousness and all darkness can disappear. It is our choice that we are living in the dark valleys. If we decide to live on the sunlit peaks, nobody can prevent us because that is also our potential.” Osho
• Love Letters to Life. 150 Life-transforming Letters by Osho
  “Be a little more poetic. Write beautiful love letters to life. That’s what meditation is all about.” Osho
• Keys to a New Life
  “We are constantly so occupied within ourselves; we are so constantly entangled and involved in doing so many things. Because of that entanglement and because of that activity, we don’t have time to know what is inside us” Osho
• Live as if there is No Past, No Future. There is Nothing Ahead of or Behind this Moment
  “Tied down by the bonds of the past and the future, man’s consciousness does not know the present. The past and the future are both man’s creation. They have no place or identity in existence.” Osho
• The Art of Living
  “The first form of violence, the first dimension, its first rule, is very deep; let us start from there. The first violence begins whenever one considers the other as the other. As soon I say that you are the other, I have become violent towards you. Actually it is impossible to be non-violent towards the other. We can only be non-violent towards ourselves; such is nature. We can only be non-violent towards ourselves; we simply cannot be non-violent towards another. The question itself does not arise, because violence begins with the very perception of the other as the other. It is very subtle; it is very deep.” Osho
• The Art of Living and Dying
  “It is the attachment. You can go on living but as the idea of death strikes you, you will start trembling. But if you are not attached to anything, death can come this very moment and you will be in a very welcoming mood. You will be absolutely ready to go. In front of such a man, death is defeated. Death is defeated only by those who are ready to die any moment, without any reluctance. They become the immortals, they become the buddhas.” Osho
• Living on your Own Terms. What is Real Rebelliousness?
  “People can be happy only in one way, and that is if they are authentically themselves. Then the springs of happiness start flowing; they become more alive, they become a joy to see, a joy to be with; they are a song, they are a dance.” Osho
• Living Tao. Talks on Fragments from Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
  Osho says: “Understanding is to live moment to moment, with a sensitive response to life and not having a fixed dogma of how to act.”
• God is Dead, Now Zen is the only Living Truth
  Osho declares: “Now there is nowhere to go. You become one with existence itself. That’s why I call my philosophy more authentically existential than the negative philosophies of the West. I am trying to bring the West and the East together.”
• Let us Search for a New Way of Life
  First we look at Love. LOVE is an ‘overused’ word, but still it is the KEY for solving our individual and global problems. There is hardly Love in the World we live nowadays in. Because: “the whole concept of competition and politics is based on hatred. It is time for each of us to search for a new Way of Living; it is time to give love its day. If not: there is nothing to loose.” Osho
• Live ZEN. The Mysterious World of Zen.  
  Osho leads us through the mysterious world of the ancient Zen masters. When illuminated by his words and silences, what at first look like insoluble riddles become playful leaps into meditation.
  Osho introduces his visionary OSHO No-Mind Meditative Therapy. To experience the no-mind of Zen, says Osho, first get rid of all the garbage and repressions that the mind is carrying. The cure: one hour of gibberish followed by one hour of silent sitting for a week.
• Have we forgotten how to Live? Live and Learn: Real Life begins only beyond Inertia and Mechanism
  “I see humanity immersed in inertia. Their lives have become completely mechanical. Gurdjieff rightly used the term ‘human machine’ to describe them. Whatever we do, we are not doing it, it is being done to us. Our actions are not conscious and aware. They are not actions, but merely reactions.” Osho
• Living Dangerously. Ordinary Enlightenment for Extraordinary Times
  “The idea of rebellion is not new,” says Osho,”but the idea of rebellion combined with enlightenment is absolutely new – it is my contribution.”
  “That is my work here. I want every individual to clean the past from his mind completely. All his prejudices, all his thoughts – political, social, religious – everything has to be dropped. Just a clean slate, and you have arrived to the space of no-mind.
