Anand Sujati

| I am Anand Sujati, and since childhood I have been deeply in touch with music. My musical journey began with vocal singing when I was twelve. Soon after I found an ancient sitar at my |

Celebrate Misery!
|
| “Even about misery you can take an attitude of celebration. For example: you are sad – don’t get identified with sadness. Become a witness and enjoy the moment
|
|
|
|
of sadness, because sadness has its own beauties. You have never watched. You get so identified that you never penetrate the beauties of a sad moment. If you watch, you will be surprised at what treasures you have been missing.…" |

The Right Upbringing: Osho's Thoughts on Helping a Child Become Independent – Parenting
“Children need to be taken care of, they need your help, but they don't need to be made dependent on you. The only way you can help is to make them independent.
“They are strangers in the world. You can keep an eye on them so that they do not fall into a ditch, but there is no need to enslave them just to save them from the ditch.…"

No Computer Is as Powerful as the Human Mind – The Osho Column
“The whole misery of science is that mind is using its energy. But, mind is a negative force; it cannot use anything creatively, it needs a master. Mind is a servant. Do you have a master?
“So to me the question is… meditation brings the master in. It makes you fully aware and conscious that the mind is your instrument. Now, whatever you want to do with it you can do. And, if you can put it aside and you can remain in absolute silence.…"

The Book of Children |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
| |
|
|
Introducing us to the most famous poems of the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran, Osho takes the reader into a mystical world, addressing essential issues in everybody’s life. The famous verse that gives the title to this book is about “love” – but not the ordinary love we know from novels and movies. Speak to us of Love gives a taste of a contemporary mystic at work, trying to disrupt our dreams, illusions, and the state of unconsciousness that prevents us from enjoying life to the fullest.
This is about and for the millions of people…. |

“Look into the eyes of a child – you cannot find anything deeper. The eyes of a child are an abyss, there is no bottom to them." Osho
Children have an authentic freedom. They are joyful, playful, and naturally creative. But by the time they grow up, most children have been sacrificed to the gods of “productivity" and good behavior to the extent that only nostalgia for childhood remains. Osho says, “It is the child’s experience that haunts intelligent people their whole life. They want it again – the same innocence, the same wonder, the same beauty…." |
