The author, whose works are read out today to holes in any corner of our world, amazes with the depth of his thoughts, the accuracy of his statements. Osho’s book “On Love” is a bestseller that can change the lives of many people, bringing bright colors and sincere feelings to it.
The great philosopher and his life
Bhagavan Sri Rajneesh, better known as Osho, was born in 1931 in India into a non-poor family. From early childhood he was attracted by secret knowledge, the search for truth. At seven years old, shocked by the death of his beloved grandfather, he realizes his exclusivity and decides to continue his studies. Over the years, he was fond of atheism and Marxism, mastered meditation. But his biggest work is writing books that the world does not know equal to this day.
All his works are worthy of detailed research, but Osho's statements about love are a special treasure trove of wisdom, from which everyone can draw knowledge. Some time before his death, the great philosopher dictated to his students an inscription that they should have placed on his grave. He claimed that he was never born and did not die, but only visited the Earth between two dates: 12/11/1931 and 01/19/1990, that is, between the day of his birth and death.
What did Osho say about love?
Today, the Indian philosopher is rightly considered a spiritual leader who has turned the consciousness of mankind. One of the authoritative London publications called him the Enlightened Master, one of the thousand people who defined the face of the twentieth century. But Osho is also considered a group of great manipulators, mystics, provocateurs, characterizing him as the most dangerous person since the time of Jesus Christ. Time will give its assessment of his work and teaching, but for now his works are published in 55 languages of the world and cause delight among readers.
Osho spoke of love in the best way, considering it the only religion to which life should be dedicated. According to the teacher, this is a gift, a big secret that should be known every moment. He reminds us that we do not owe anything to anyone, we just need to love someone and allow ourselves to love. Without claims to perfection, without conditions, without looking back. Only then can love find a person in its natural simplicity, because business relationships kill the most tender feelings.
The difference between Osho teachings and other concepts
Osho considered the love of a man and a woman a kind of mystery, but he looked at relations in a special way. The philosopher taught how to deal with jealousy (make your partner jealous of you), but he did not accept that you can spend your whole life with one person. Moreover, he said that only solitude would give a mature person a taste of the truth, and he compared love with a pleasant childhood illness that everyone should experience.
Reading Osho's judgments about love, one can agree or disagree with him, but still they will make you look at feelings differently. This book cannot be turned over; one wants to return to it again and again. And each time you can discover something that slipped away the previous time. Reappraisal of values that may happen to you can change for the better the existing relationship or find a new love. But will this not be the best reward for a person who has taken up the brilliant work of an enlightened teacher?
