5.0 out of 5 stars The Empty Boat -- Leads a journey to purified mind
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2000
Since the first time I read books on the sayings of Chuang Tzu, its philosophy has amused me. But not until I read this book, I find the way to practice it in everyday's life. It is a guideline for dealing with daily chores in my life, for searching the soul, and reminds me the essential object of my pursuit--to live, to love, and go back to my nature and to be myself. Easily getting lost in illusions of the material world, it is a book that helps me to understand the true happiness in life. I hope others will enjoy and benefit from reading this book too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A practical and thoroughly inspiring account
Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 1999
This book delights in every possible way, it should not be a book to rest on the shelves gathering dust, but one to be perused through as the mood fits. This book inspired me greatly and I have the utmost respect for the authors understanding and commentary on the text. Beautifully demonstrative of the problems mankind faces in a world of stress and worry, Osho presents pearls of wisdom to delight the experienced reader and inexperienced alike. This book should seriously be considered by all especially as it has been out of print for some time, now just recently been reprinted.

How can words convey a message which is wordless? What can be said about an enlightened master? The essence of the message beyond words is paradox, and Osho and Chuang Tzu ask us to accept paradox, set aside mind and logic, and become empty. Only when empty of our conditionings, ideas and expectations - our egos - can their enlightenment become our own. Chuang Tzu millennia ago, and Osho today, conspire to make us nobodies, empty vessels who can receive the wordless, the eternal, which they embody. In these discourses Osho makes obvious that in our present state of being/doing, there is no room for the wordless to enter us and rest. It is there waiting for empty space in us; preoccupations, plans, close the door and we miss it But any effort to attain this emptiness reveals the paradox—effort and ambitions build ego and doom us to ultimate failure. So what can we do? Osho tells us there is nothing to be done, all doing is of the ego. But we can be in a state of receptivity, we can be open and accepting of existence. Bypass the critical mind and his words sink into us, deep into us, and we become like empty boats. To ponder over the words, their meanings, is the road to confusion. Osho uses contradiction as a technique and through it addresses all types of personality. He knows every quirk and twist of the ego, every trick of the mind; he is many jumps ahead. Osho is not trying to turn us into slaves of his rules, he is not our enemy. He has so much love for our monkeyish nature that his whole effort is to help us to become aware of our enslavements, not more adjusted to them. He shocks, jolts us from our comfortable cages, so that through understanding and awareness we can transcend them.

Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

I have read a lot of Osho's name on the Internet and on the shelves of libraries, but I have never read anything about him or about him. This is the first time that I got to know him and his philosophy and principles, so I can say that I started reading the book "The Empty Boat" without prejudice, neither about the book nor And God knows that while I was reading the book, I tried to remain open to his ideas as much as I could and not to judge until I finished reading. As for having finished reading the book, I can say with a clear conscience that this book is a bit of wisdom and a lot of empty talk.
The book is divided into 11 chapters in which Osho explains the sayings of "Zhiguan Tzi" or "Lao-tse", who is one of the wise men of the Taoist faith in China. I do not agree with many of the ideas included in the book, but I find them a pure invitation to madness. Osho says in the first chapter of his book, “Be nobody so that you can enjoy spiritual happiness.” This is the main idea around which the book revolves, but when I am nobody, what is the meaning of happiness ? How can I be happy when I am nobody? Moreover, we did not only create spirits, and this contradiction between the spirit that yearns for the sky and the body clinging to the earth is what makes man a human being, and the human ability to balance between them is true happiness. I'm not totally against spiritual sciences, but I don't like this exaggeration in dealing with them, just as I don't like their antithesis, "material philosophy."

Its a sequel (i.e volume 2) to the book 'when the shoe fits foot is forgotten'.
Its one of the best books by osho. Its philosophy is life changing and is very simple. Worth a read.

The book is about the sayings of the wise Chagwan Tszi
interpreted and explained by Osho.
It revolves around the aiju and how to get rid of
the sayings. If I collect them, they will come to three pages with a lot. They explained them in three and sixty pages. His
explanation is spiritual, very beautiful.
I wish he was a Muslim and interpreted the Qur’an

Read it long back. The most impressive lesson I remember from this book is
“If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collides with his own skiff, even though he be a bad-tempered man he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in the boat, he will shout at him to steer clear. If the shout is not heard, he will shout again, and yet again, and begin cursing. And all because there is somebody in the boat. Yet if the boat were empty, he would not be shouting, and not angry. If you can empty your own boat crossing the river of the world, no one will oppose you, no one will seek to harm you…. Who can free himself from achievement, and from fame, descend and be lost amid the masses of men? He will flow like Tao, unseen, he will go about like Life itself with no name and no home. Simple is he, without distinction. To all appearances he is a fool. His steps leave no trace. He has no power. He achieves nothing, has no reputation. Since he judges no one, no one judges him. Such is the perfect man: His boat is empty.”

The empty boat is a journey that you must make sure that you are fully prepared before embarking on it.
The book is very deep..to the extent that I spent nearly a month on it.
Each chapter has to sit after a contemplative session to realize how very real
Osho is. I talked about him, and talking about him became like talking about forbidden things,
but when I sat with him.. In every chapter, I was impressed by his difference and the depth of his faith, so that the reader would imagine at first sight that he was crazy. In
the book, Osho talked about the Rubaiyat of the mystic Omar Khayyam, and how he was accused of immorality when he talked about drunkenness and love But what he meant when he talked about intoxication is the divine intoxication and the eternal embrace with God,
and Osho talked about Lao Tsri and Tshuan Tzi and how they made their lives pure consciousness when they got rid of all material things and decided with courage to be useless
Osho speaks in the language of light and gratitude..Listen to what is behind the phrases and words.
Do not take them literally..because you will drown.
I knew that the Illuminati talk about embracing and love as an expression of their love for God.
They talk about intoxication..not the intoxication of wine, but the divine intoxication and eternal embrace with God.
Osho clearly True religiosity begins when you listen well..when you decide to get rid of all materialism and apparent turmoil.
Osho explains that there is no prayer in the presence of words.
We are full of chatter.
When you listen well and thoughts stop and become filled with you, you will pray the first real prayer
. In philosophy and everything that the father of philosophers Socrates
Osho says, he sees that philosophers and rationalists are the ones who made us live in illusion and miss the aesthetics of life.
When we ask about everything, we lose pleasure and faith.
Osho teaches us how to find God within us and not in temples.
How do we live spontaneously .. How everything is perfect and should go in the way that
Osho is going to call for a return to instinct, love and tolerance
Osho is very honest, I am not impressed by the misunderstanding of many and their arguments about him
because his honesty is contagious as soon as you read it until it is filled with light and you look For life with a new perspective
and get rid of deceiving yourself for yourself and for life
Osho invites you to get rid of everything that is fake and unreal.
Osho calls for unconditional love.. to get rid of formalities in relationships
for free love and get rid of restrictions
. I repeat, do not read the book if you are not ready,
and I repeat, read behind Phrases and words and do not take them literally

This is one of the gems from Osho, on saying of Ancient Mystic, Chuang Tzu, explaining beautifully, the importance of 'just being' without harbouring any attachments under happiness, sadness, anger, greed or such. The actual Life is in this present moment, not in past or future, was stated beautifully with various epitaphs as 'The toast is burnt', 'the empty boat', 'when Fish is caught, the trap is forgotten' and such. When you read Osho, it's mostly 4 or 5, nothing less; from one of the greatest mystic who walked on this earth in 90s. His talks are relevant even today & I think, it would be in any future. When you read his thoughts as transcribed in his books, you can't but agree to his thoughts, reflections and visions, such is the power of his talks.4 stars.

Nothingness is the fragrance of the beyond. It is the opening of the heart to the transcendental. It is the unfoldment of the one-thousand-petaled lotus. It is man’s destiny. Man is complete only when he has come to this fragrance, when he has come to this absolute nothingness inside his being, when this nothingness has spread all over him, when he is just a pure sky, unclouded.
This nothingness is what Buddha calls nirvana. First we have to understand what this nothingness actually is, because it is not just empty – it is full, it is overflowing. Never for a single moment think that nothingness is a negative state, an absence, no. Nothingness is simply no-thingness. Things disappear, only the ultimate substance remains. Forms disappear, only the formless remains. Definitions disappear, the undefined remains.
So, nothingness is not as if there is nothing. It simply means there is no possibility of defining what is there. It is as if you move all the furniture from your house outside. Somebody comes in and he says, “Now, here is nothing.” He had seen the furniture before; now the furniture is missing and he says, “Here there is no longer anything. Nothing is.” His statement is valid only to a certain extent. In fact, when you remove the furniture, you simply remove obstructions in the space of the house. Now, only pure space exists, now nothing obstructs. Now there is no cloud roaming in the sky; it is just a sky. It is not just nothing, it is purity. It is not only absence, it is a presence.
Have you ever been in an absolutely empty house? You will find that emptiness has a presence; it is very tangible, you can almost touch it. That’s the beauty of a temple or a church or a mosque – pure nothing, just empty. When you go into a temple, what surrounds you is nothingness. It is empty of everything, but not just empty. In that emptiness something is present – but only present for those who can feel it, who are sensitive enough to feel it, who are aware enough to see it. Those who can see only things will say, “What is there? Nothing.” Those who can see nothing will say, “All is here, because nothing is here.”
The identity of “yes” and “no” is the secret of nothingness. Let me repeat it; it is very basic to Buddha’s approach: nothingness is not identical with no, nothingness is the identity of yes and no, where polarities are no longer polarities, where opposites are no longer opposites.

Taoism from the perspective of a Buddhist.
Well, he is not strictly a Buddhist, but that is the impression I got while reading. I just finished this book yesterday and I thought it was good, but not amazing. This is a transcription of talks given by the author in 1974, and in giving his talks he does provide some genuinely valuable insights in to the parables of Chuang Tzu, Taoism and life in general. I found the 8th chapter ("The Useless") to be excellent, describing what might be called "existence-in-contradistinction", or the idea that for anything to exist, it must be set in opposition to or against something else.
However throughout this book I couldn't help but feel that what we get is not wholly in the spirit of Taoism, but rather what the author selectively wants to impart from Taoism, to the exclusion of other things. This world is often deprecated as being unreal, secondary or of no real importance; a sentiment not to be found in great degree in the primary sources of Taoism. The self takes a serious beating as well... but then again the title of the book is "The Empty Boat", named after a Chuang Tzu story which suggests that the source of blame is personal identity. Lastly the author fictionalizes stories about historical figures (as an avid student of the ancient Cynics of Greece, I can tell you that most details he gives about the meeting of Alexander and Diogenes of Sinope are patently false) in order to reinforce his point.
Perhaps I am being overly critical. This book is worth reading, for there are many gems of philosophical insight to be found within it, but just make sure you have read Chuang Tzu for yourself before approaching it. Reading this book I felt like looking at a picture of "The Vinegar Tasters" and seeing the words of Lao Tzu coming out of Buddha's mouth.

Osho is a Hindu thinker who became famous, especially in European circles in our time. The book is written in a smooth style, the ideas are clear, and the multiplicity of stories in it increases the pleasure of reading and reduces the dryness of philosophy. Why, if I rate the book with one star? For the thought of the book and the writer with whom I cannot approach or be satisfied. With some of its content, the idea of the book is an embodiment of the Hindu religion that does not believe in heaven, fire, judgment, or a day of religion, even if it believes in a God who is the creator of the universe. Salvation in the Christian faith is by believing that God sacrificed his son to atone for Adam’s sin. Salvation in Judaism is only for the Jews of God’s children. Salvation is in Islam by following what the Prophet Muhammad came with. The three religions make there a day of judgment. Either bliss is in heaven or hell in hell. As for what Osho philosophizes for us about his Hindu faith, your salvation will only be if you melt yourself and unite in the divine self, and that is by your fading away. About yourself by devoting yourself, stop. The last phrase of self-dedication does not mean asceticism, for example!!!No, then a thousand no, so your asceticism is existence, and what you strive for is annihilation. In short, you see yourself. Excuse me. You see yourself, that is, that you do not become anything, that is, that you perish in the Divine Self, and thus your salvation is achieved through Nirvana.

The second book Osho!
Is
he a human demon? I don't know, maybe since watching part of his episodes on the netflix platform, the wild wild west program, I hated him, even though I know the extent of his influence on people. For him, I read a book for him called (The Empty Boat) before I got into the idea of the book as a specialist in neuro-linguistic programming. I found that it is the way Osho talks and his books use methods and tricks to convince people, including that it hurts that I was like you and I was lost to build intellectual cohesion and broadcast his ideas to them. He spoke with this book that
we We should not be anyone!
Meaning, as soon as we prove ourselves and show the world who we are or what we have, we fall into problems like all prophets, thinkers, and philosophers, meaning that we should not be present too much, because if we exist, we will cause anxiety or feelings of jealousy for those around us.
_
He attacked philosophy, knowing that he has a master’s degree in philosophy, where he says that philosophy begins with the question (why) and here the problem begins. He also attacked thinking that it has no benefit. We must enjoy the present moment only and move away from planning. He talked about the importance of honesty and love in
relationships
without Masks, and attacked development professors that they teach people to lie to gain friends and benefit instead of the true feeling of love to win friends.
Attack the old habits and thought, where the glory of living in the present moment and indifference
From my point of view, it is like a snake, but it is full of poison!

No, it is not a call to be nothing, but rather a call to be everything.
No, you are not required to leave your life, but rather you are required to leave your idea of this life.
Osho, as I read it, invites us to leave the prison of the mind and ideas, because they always falsify what we live in terms of love, friendship, and condemnation, because when we are actually present at the present moment for these things, we do not think about them or spoil them with interpretations, and because when we stop worshiping heaven and hell, Our worship is no longer politics, and because when we are in the middle, we are more real. The middle is beautiful. The middle means not taking sides with only one of you.
And because when you really love, you are inside the subject of love and not outside it, you look at it and think about it, and the same is true with life. We will not get it once in its entirety inside our heads, and for this we stopped thinking about it and its possibilities. Living it really means that it really exists.
I am not saying that everything Osho said here must be acted upon, but it crushes meditation, rather it is an invitation to meditation. 💡

Good leisure time reading, when you are utterly depressed and your mind feels numb. If you want to feel something, this book is for you, or the whole work of Osho is available for you.
There are lots of sermons in way of jokes, anecdotes, philosophy and facts. The language is so simple that your mind will do only one thing: read. Without getting troubled with comprehension or difficult words. All is simple and plain. Perfect for reading when you are depressed. As Osho says over and over, don't read to acquire, just read for the joy of reading.

To be honest, I was expecting something completely different.
I can neither call it bad nor good, because it totally depends on your personality and thoughts.
Well, reading books like these certainly help you understand different life perspectives, but in my opinion you become more uncertain about yourself and your actions.
The author warns us that we will be lost and transformed into nothingness, but perhaps that is what became the beginning of everything.
In the end, I am satisfied.

I think the book is a brain storm that conveys to you the idea that you do not choose, even if you choose one outcome, and that you exhaust yourself by thinking and planning for me. There are
many objections to some of what it says due to the difference in belief.

The Empty boat - Perception changing book. Neither good nor bad is our doing for the boat is empty. If we don't hold too much on ourselves, we can take things on a lighter note.
Chuang Tzu's stories guide us through - to live without choices, how faith and trust are beyond self, goodness of uselessness to list a few. Big book good read.

Love exists, but lovers do not exist. In true love, love remains and lovers disappear, but thinking appears to say “I am in love, I love you.” When the “ego” appears, suspicion begins to influence, divisions are born, and love disappears.

I think Osho is morally wronged for two reasons. The first is that everything he wrote is translated, and translation may often lack meaning. The other reason is that what he says is not science! And our world now only understands science and logic..
As for Osho, his goal is only to show you what is beyond logic and beyond science. So enjoy and listen if you want

The Empty Boat: Talks on the Sayings of Chuang Tzu
Osho, K. Prabhu (Editor)

Rate this book
How can words convey a message which is wordless? What can be said about an enlightened master? The essence of the message beyond words is paradox, and Osho and Chuang Tzu ask us to accept paradox, set aside mind and logic, and become empty. Only when empty of our conditionings, ideas and expectations - our egos - can their enlightenment become our own. Chuang Tzu millennia ago, and Osho today, conspire to make us nobodies, empty vessels who can receive the wordless, the eternal, which they embody. In these discourses Osho makes obvious that in our present state of being/doing, there is no room for the wordless to enter us and rest. It is there waiting for empty space in us; preoccupations, plans, close the door and we miss it But any effort to attain this emptiness reveals the paradox—effort and ambitions build ego and doom us to ultimate failure. So what can we do? Osho tells us there is nothing to be done, all doing is of the ego. But we can be in a state of receptivity, we can be open and accepting of existence. Bypass the critical mind and his words sink into us, deep into us, and we become like empty boats. To ponder over the words, their meanings, is the road to confusion. Osho uses contradiction as a technique and through it addresses all types of personality. He knows every quirk and twist of the ego, every trick of the mind; he is many jumps ahead. Osho is not trying to turn us into slaves of his rules, he is not our enemy. He has so much love for our monkeyish nature that his whole effort is to help us to become aware of our enslavements, not more adjusted to them. He shocks, jolts us from our comfortable cages, so that through understanding and awareness we can transcend them.

Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

I have read a lot of Osho's name on the Internet and on the shelves of libraries, but I have never read anything about him or about him. This is the first time that I got to know him and his philosophy and principles, so I can say that I started reading the book "The Empty Boat" without prejudice, neither about the book nor And God knows that while I was reading the book, I tried to remain open to his ideas as much as I could and not to judge until I finished reading. As for having finished reading the book, I can say with a clear conscience that this book is a bit of wisdom and a lot of empty talk.
The book is divided into 11 chapters in which Osho explains the sayings of "Zhiguan Tzi" or "Lao-tse", who is one of the wise men of the Taoist faith in China. I do not agree with many of the ideas included in the book, but I find them a pure invitation to madness. Osho says in the first chapter of his book, “Be nobody so that you can enjoy spiritual happiness.” This is the main idea around which the book revolves, but when I am nobody, what is the meaning of happiness ? How can I be happy when I am nobody? Moreover, we did not only create spirits, and this contradiction between the spirit that yearns for the sky and the body clinging to the earth is what makes man a human being, and the human ability to balance between them is true happiness. I'm not totally against spiritual sciences, but I don't like this exaggeration in dealing with them, just as I don't like their antithesis, "material philosophy."

Its a sequel (i.e volume 2) to the book 'when the shoe fits foot is forgotten'.
Its one of the best books by osho. Its philosophy is life changing and is very simple. Worth a read.

The book is about the sayings of the wise Chagwan Tszi
interpreted and explained by Osho.
It revolves around the aiju and how to get rid of
the sayings. If I collect them, they will come to three pages with a lot. They explained them in three and sixty pages. His
explanation is spiritual, very beautiful.
I wish he was a Muslim and interpreted the Qur’an

Read it long back. The most impressive lesson I remember from this book is
“If a man is crossing a river and an empty boat collides with his own skiff, even though he be a bad-tempered man he will not become very angry. But if he sees a man in the boat, he will shout at him to steer clear. If the shout is not heard, he will shout again, and yet again, and begin cursing. And all because there is somebody in the boat. Yet if the boat were empty, he would not be shouting, and not angry. If you can empty your own boat crossing the river of the world, no one will oppose you, no one will seek to harm you…. Who can free himself from achievement, and from fame, descend and be lost amid the masses of men? He will flow like Tao, unseen, he will go about like Life itself with no name and no home. Simple is he, without distinction. To all appearances he is a fool. His steps leave no trace. He has no power. He achieves nothing, has no reputation. Since he judges no one, no one judges him. Such is the perfect man: His boat is empty.”

The empty boat is a journey that you must make sure that you are fully prepared before embarking on it.
The book is very deep..to the extent that I spent nearly a month on it.
Each chapter has to sit after a contemplative session to realize how very real
Osho is. I talked about him, and talking about him became like talking about forbidden things,
but when I sat with him.. In every chapter, I was impressed by his difference and the depth of his faith, so that the reader would imagine at first sight that he was crazy. In
the book, Osho talked about the Rubaiyat of the mystic Omar Khayyam, and how he was accused of immorality when he talked about drunkenness and love But what he meant when he talked about intoxication is the divine intoxication and the eternal embrace with God,
and Osho talked about Lao Tsri and Tshuan Tzi and how they made their lives pure consciousness when they got rid of all material things and decided with courage to be useless
Osho speaks in the language of light and gratitude..Listen to what is behind the phrases and words.
Do not take them literally..because you will drown.
I knew that the Illuminati talk about embracing and love as an expression of their love for God.
They talk about intoxication..not the intoxication of wine, but the divine intoxication and eternal embrace with God.
Osho clearly True religiosity begins when you listen well..when you decide to get rid of all materialism and apparent turmoil.
Osho explains that there is no prayer in the presence of words.
We are full of chatter.
When you listen well and thoughts stop and become filled with you, you will pray the first real prayer
. In philosophy and everything that the father of philosophers Socrates
Osho says, he sees that philosophers and rationalists are the ones who made us live in illusion and miss the aesthetics of life.
When we ask about everything, we lose pleasure and faith.
Osho teaches us how to find God within us and not in temples.
How do we live spontaneously .. How everything is perfect and should go in the way that
Osho is going to call for a return to instinct, love and tolerance
Osho is very honest, I am not impressed by the misunderstanding of many and their arguments about him
because his honesty is contagious as soon as you read it until it is filled with light and you look For life with a new perspective
and get rid of deceiving yourself for yourself and for life
Osho invites you to get rid of everything that is fake and unreal.
Osho calls for unconditional love.. to get rid of formalities in relationships
for free love and get rid of restrictions
. I repeat, do not read the book if you are not ready,
and I repeat, read behind Phrases and words and do not take them literally

This is one of the gems from Osho, on saying of Ancient Mystic, Chuang Tzu, explaining beautifully, the importance of 'just being' without harbouring any attachments under happiness, sadness, anger, greed or such. The actual Life is in this present moment, not in past or future, was stated beautifully with various epitaphs as 'The toast is burnt', 'the empty boat', 'when Fish is caught, the trap is forgotten' and such. When you read Osho, it's mostly 4 or 5, nothing less; from one of the greatest mystic who walked on this earth in 90s. His talks are relevant even today & I think, it would be in any future. When you read his thoughts as transcribed in his books, you can't but agree to his thoughts, reflections and visions, such is the power of his talks.4 stars.

Nothingness is the fragrance of the beyond. It is the opening of the heart to the transcendental. It is the unfoldment of the one-thousand-petaled lotus. It is man’s destiny. Man is complete only when he has come to this fragrance, when he has come to this absolute nothingness inside his being, when this nothingness has spread all over him, when he is just a pure sky, unclouded.
This nothingness is what Buddha calls nirvana. First we have to understand what this nothingness actually is, because it is not just empty – it is full, it is overflowing. Never for a single moment think that nothingness is a negative state, an absence, no. Nothingness is simply no-thingness. Things disappear, only the ultimate substance remains. Forms disappear, only the formless remains. Definitions disappear, the undefined remains.
So, nothingness is not as if there is nothing. It simply means there is no possibility of defining what is there. It is as if you move all the furniture from your house outside. Somebody comes in and he says, “Now, here is nothing.” He had seen the furniture before; now the furniture is missing and he says, “Here there is no longer anything. Nothing is.” His statement is valid only to a certain extent. In fact, when you remove the furniture, you simply remove obstructions in the space of the house. Now, only pure space exists, now nothing obstructs. Now there is no cloud roaming in the sky; it is just a sky. It is not just nothing, it is purity. It is not only absence, it is a presence.
Have you ever been in an absolutely empty house? You will find that emptiness has a presence; it is very tangible, you can almost touch it. That’s the beauty of a temple or a church or a mosque – pure nothing, just empty. When you go into a temple, what surrounds you is nothingness. It is empty of everything, but not just empty. In that emptiness something is present – but only present for those who can feel it, who are sensitive enough to feel it, who are aware enough to see it. Those who can see only things will say, “What is there? Nothing.” Those who can see nothing will say, “All is here, because nothing is here.”
The identity of “yes” and “no” is the secret of nothingness. Let me repeat it; it is very basic to Buddha’s approach: nothingness is not identical with no, nothingness is the identity of yes and no, where polarities are no longer polarities, where opposites are no longer opposites.

Taoism from the perspective of a Buddhist.
Well, he is not strictly a Buddhist, but that is the impression I got while reading. I just finished this book yesterday and I thought it was good, but not amazing. This is a transcription of talks given by the author in 1974, and in giving his talks he does provide some genuinely valuable insights in to the parables of Chuang Tzu, Taoism and life in general. I found the 8th chapter ("The Useless") to be excellent, describing what might be called "existence-in-contradistinction", or the idea that for anything to exist, it must be set in opposition to or against something else.
However throughout this book I couldn't help but feel that what we get is not wholly in the spirit of Taoism, but rather what the author selectively wants to impart from Taoism, to the exclusion of other things. This world is often deprecated as being unreal, secondary or of no real importance; a sentiment not to be found in great degree in the primary sources of Taoism. The self takes a serious beating as well... but then again the title of the book is "The Empty Boat", named after a Chuang Tzu story which suggests that the source of blame is personal identity. Lastly the author fictionalizes stories about historical figures (as an avid student of the ancient Cynics of Greece, I can tell you that most details he gives about the meeting of Alexander and Diogenes of Sinope are patently false) in order to reinforce his point.
Perhaps I am being overly critical. This book is worth reading, for there are many gems of philosophical insight to be found within it, but just make sure you have read Chuang Tzu for yourself before approaching it. Reading this book I felt like looking at a picture of "The Vinegar Tasters" and seeing the words of Lao Tzu coming out of Buddha's mouth.

Osho is a Hindu thinker who became famous, especially in European circles in our time. The book is written in a smooth style, the ideas are clear, and the multiplicity of stories in it increases the pleasure of reading and reduces the dryness of philosophy. Why, if I rate the book with one star? For the thought of the book and the writer with whom I cannot approach or be satisfied. With some of its content, the idea of the book is an embodiment of the Hindu religion that does not believe in heaven, fire, judgment, or a day of religion, even if it believes in a God who is the creator of the universe. Salvation in the Christian faith is by believing that God sacrificed his son to atone for Adam’s sin. Salvation in Judaism is only for the Jews of God’s children. Salvation is in Islam by following what the Prophet Muhammad came with. The three religions make there a day of judgment. Either bliss is in heaven or hell in hell. As for what Osho philosophizes for us about his Hindu faith, your salvation will only be if you melt yourself and unite in the divine self, and that is by your fading away. About yourself by devoting yourself, stop. The last phrase of self-dedication does not mean asceticism, for example!!!No, then a thousand no, so your asceticism is existence, and what you strive for is annihilation. In short, you see yourself. Excuse me. You see yourself, that is, that you do not become anything, that is, that you perish in the Divine Self, and thus your salvation is achieved through Nirvana.

The second book Osho!
Is
he a human demon? I don't know, maybe since watching part of his episodes on the netflix platform, the wild wild west program, I hated him, even though I know the extent of his influence on people. For him, I read a book for him called (The Empty Boat) before I got into the idea of the book as a specialist in neuro-linguistic programming. I found that it is the way Osho talks and his books use methods and tricks to convince people, including that it hurts that I was like you and I was lost to build intellectual cohesion and broadcast his ideas to them. He spoke with this book that
we We should not be anyone!
Meaning, as soon as we prove ourselves and show the world who we are or what we have, we fall into problems like all prophets, thinkers, and philosophers, meaning that we should not be present too much, because if we exist, we will cause anxiety or feelings of jealousy for those around us.
_
He attacked philosophy, knowing that he has a master’s degree in philosophy, where he says that philosophy begins with the question (why) and here the problem begins. He also attacked thinking that it has no benefit. We must enjoy the present moment only and move away from planning. He talked about the importance of honesty and love in
relationships
without Masks, and attacked development professors that they teach people to lie to gain friends and benefit instead of the true feeling of love to win friends.
Attack the old habits and thought, where the glory of living in the present moment and indifference
From my point of view, it is like a snake, but it is full of poison!

No, it is not a call to be nothing, but rather a call to be everything.
No, you are not required to leave your life, but rather you are required to leave your idea of this life.
Osho, as I read it, invites us to leave the prison of the mind and ideas, because they always falsify what we live in terms of love, friendship, and condemnation, because when we are actually present at the present moment for these things, we do not think about them or spoil them with interpretations, and because when we stop worshiping heaven and hell, Our worship is no longer politics, and because when we are in the middle, we are more real. The middle is beautiful. The middle means not taking sides with only one of you.
And because when you really love, you are inside the subject of love and not outside it, you look at it and think about it, and the same is true with life. We will not get it once in its entirety inside our heads, and for this we stopped thinking about it and its possibilities. Living it really means that it really exists.
I am not saying that everything Osho said here must be acted upon, but it crushes meditation, rather it is an invitation to meditation. 💡

Good leisure time reading, when you are utterly depressed and your mind feels numb. If you want to feel something, this book is for you, or the whole work of Osho is available for you.
There are lots of sermons in way of jokes, anecdotes, philosophy and facts. The language is so simple that your mind will do only one thing: read. Without getting troubled with comprehension or difficult words. All is simple and plain. Perfect for reading when you are depressed. As Osho says over and over, don't read to acquire, just read for the joy of reading.

To be honest, I was expecting something completely different.
I can neither call it bad nor good, because it totally depends on your personality and thoughts.
Well, reading books like these certainly help you understand different life perspectives, but in my opinion you become more uncertain about yourself and your actions.
The author warns us that we will be lost and transformed into nothingness, but perhaps that is what became the beginning of everything.
In the end, I am satisfied.

I think the book is a brain storm that conveys to you the idea that you do not choose, even if you choose one outcome, and that you exhaust yourself by thinking and planning for me. There are
many objections to some of what it says due to the difference in belief.

The Empty boat - Perception changing book. Neither good nor bad is our doing for the boat is empty. If we don't hold too much on ourselves, we can take things on a lighter note.
Chuang Tzu's stories guide us through - to live without choices, how faith and trust are beyond self, goodness of uselessness to list a few. Big book good read.

Love exists, but lovers do not exist. In true love, love remains and lovers disappear, but thinking appears to say “I am in love, I love you.” When the “ego” appears, suspicion begins to influence, divisions are born, and love disappears.

I think Osho is morally wronged for two reasons. The first is that everything he wrote is translated, and translation may often lack meaning. The other reason is that what he says is not science! And our world now only understands science and logic..
As for Osho, his goal is only to show you what is beyond logic and beyond science. So enjoy and listen if you want
