Osho is fantastic. At the moment I'm listening and committing to memory a number of string quartets, a most rewarding and energizing experience. What is required in doing this is not reason or logic but intuition, which reminded me of this inspirational book by Osho. I started to reread and couldn't stop. I wanted to share a few of my reflections.

“To know means to be silent, utterly silent, so you can hear the still, small voice within. To know means to drop the mind. When you are show more absolutely still, unmoving, nothing wavers in you, the doors open. You are part of this mysterious existence. You know it by becoming part of it, by becoming a participant in it. That is knowing.” ---------- Reminds me of Nietzsche’s Zarathustra urging us to flee from the flies of the marketplace; “You’ve been deafened by the noise of the great men and stung but the stings of the little men. Flee into your silence and solitude.” There comes a time when we have to turn off the TV and all the gadgets and simply rest in silence. There are few practices more refreshing.

“Intellect is your mind. Instinct is your body. And just as instinct functions perfectly on behalf of the body, intuition functions perfectly as far as your consciousness is concerned. Intellect is just between these two—a passage to be passed, a bridge to be crossed. ----------- This is a critical point that many people just don’t get: intuition is not a denial of reason or the opposite of reason, intuition transcends reason as, for example, when we look out at the ocean and feel a deep peace and oneness with the world or when we listen to a deeply moving piece of music.

“If the left hemisphere of the brain goes on dominating you, you will live a successful life—so successful that by the time you are forty you will have ulcers; by the time you are forty-five, you will have had at least one or two heart attacks. ---------- I vividly recall a friend of mine telling me he took everyone around him - friends, family, associates, people he met on the street - for granted and was focused on making money and being a great success in business. He then had a massive heart attack. He said when he was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, he appreciated people for the first time. Changed his life completely.

“Reason is an effort to know the unknown and intuition is the happening of the unknowable. To penetrate the unknowable is possible, but to explain it is not. The feeling is possible, the explanation is not.” ---------- Case in point: aesthetic experience. When creating in writing, music or the visual arts, we can’t be too conceptual since too much thinking can hold us back. I recall that quote from Louis Armstrong: “If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know.”

“Because of the unknowable, life means something. When everything is known, then everything is flat. You will be fed up, bored.” ---------- Joseph Campbell reflected how the meaning of life is overemphasized, that is, figuring out the meaning of life isn’t really our prime question. The prime question we face is how we are going to live in a way that we feel completely alive. What I personally enjoy above Joseph Campbell’s words are the emphasis on ‘the way we feel’. In our modern world there is much too much disregard and disrespect for feelings and sensations. If we can relax into feelings and ongoing sensations, a rich, creamy many-textured world opens up.

Kolektivi është një fjalë e rrezikshme. Në emër të kolektivit, individi ka qenë gjithmonë i sakrifikuar. Kombet kanë sakrifikuar individët, në emër të kombit, - e "kombi" është vetëm një fjalë. Linjat që keni tërhequr në hartë nuk janë askund në tokë. Ato janë vetëm loja juaj. Por në ato linja që ju keni tërhequr në hartë, miliona njerëz kanë vdekur - njerëz real, që vdesin për linja jo reale. Dhe ju i shpallni ata heronj, heronj të kombit!

Askush nuk i show more kushton vëmendje të mjaftueshme individit. Dhe kjo është shkaktari themelor i të gjitha problemeve. Por për atë se individi duket aq i imët, kurse shoqëria aq e madhe, njerëzit mendojnë se, po e ndryshuan bashkësinë, atëherë edhe individi do të ndryshohet. Por kjo është marrëzi - sepse "shoqëria" është vetëm fjalë; në realitet ekziston vetëm individi, shoqëria nuk ekziston. Atë që quajmë "shoqëri" është vetëm fjalë pa substancë dhe aty nuk ka se çfarë të ndryshohet. Ti mund ta ndryshosh vetëm individin, more sado i imët të duket ai. Dhe kështu përnjëherë do ta kuptosh shkencën me të cilën ndryshon njeriu - ajo vepron në çdo individ, more kudo qoftë ai. Po ndjej se do të vijë dita kur do të jetojmë në shoqërinë harmonike, dhe ajo do të jetë më e mirë se të gjitha idetë të cilat utopia i ka krijuar gjatë mija viteve. Dhe atëherë realiteti do të jetë shumë më i bukur. show less
When I chose to read this book I thought it was about making decisions that you would not like to make, such as splitting up with the wrong boyfriend you deeply love. Then I found out it was much more. It is basically about knowledge, rationality, feeling, experience, and the essence itself of human existence. We feel that mind and rationality can lead our lives and that the best we can do is thinking it over any time we need to go further and make decisions. This has been my approach to show more life at least, and it turned out to be wrong because then you end up stuck in your brainy speculations. This is what Osho says, there is no way we can know the right answer because future is by its own nature unknown, so just let yourself go and open up. All this has of course many other implications. For science, for example, it is an invitation to look further what we know because of our experience. It is a provoking fascinating book, an easy and fast reading, graphical as usual in Osho's style that very often resorts to examples and anecdotes. A must read. show less
Jeta është tmerrësisht absurde dhe këtu qëndron bukuria e saj. Ajo është qesharake dhe këtu qëndron hareja e saj. Ajo ngjason si një lojë dhe është plotësisht joserioze. Me përjashtim të budallenjve, askush tjetër nuk është serioz.

Budallenjtë janë të detyruar të jenë seriozë, përderisa ky është i vetmi mjet për të fshehur marrëzinë e tyre. Njerëzit me arsye e kanë ndjenjën e humorit, kurse budallenjtë nuk janë të aftë të bëjnë humor, sepse kjo show more ndjenjë kërkon shumë logjikë. Të jesh fatkeq është shumë e lehtë; kushdo është i aftë të bëhet i tillë dhe nuk kërkon asgjë, as arsye, as burrëri. Ja përse në të gjithë botën ka kaq shumë fatkëqij: fatkeqësia është e lirë, nuk kushton asgjë, është falas. Por për të arritur lumturinë, njeriu duhet të flijojë shumë gjëra. show less
