Osho

The Art of Living

OSHO Media International, 2012. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight age .spotting to closed page block; moderate handling wear and creasing to jacket. Osho presents and explores five principles: nonviolence, non-possessiveness, non-theft, non-desire, and non-unawareness. He shows how they can be applied to everyday life by bringing awareness to the simplest of actions and the minutest of details, as well as to the most powerful of human energies, sex. How many people can honestly say that they are really living? This book gives a glimpse into what it means to live totally and consciously, and how living can become an art. Through directly encountering the depths of the unconscious and aspects of our human nature that we most shy away from, we can rise to the highest peaks of consciousness. Those familiar with the Jaina sages will recognize the five virtues as an echo of their central views. These talks were given in Mumbai at the request of Osho's Jaina friends during the Paryuchan Parva, their main religious fortnight of the year. The commentaries are beautifully illustrated with anecdotes from the lives of many great mystics, including Mahavira, the last Jaina sage. Warning against the pitfalls of trying to imitate them, Osho invites the reader to begin his own, unique inner journey towards that state of ultimate liberation that is the potential of every human being. 285 pages.
