"Remember, only that which you can take with you when you leave the body is important. That means, except meditation, nothing is important. Except awareness, nothing is important, because only awareness cannot be taken away by death. Everything else will be snatched away, because everything else comes from without.
Only awareness wells up within. That cannot be taken away. And the shadows of awareness – compassion, love – they cannot be taken away. They are intrinsic parts of awareness. You will be taking with you only whatsoever awareness you have attained. That is your only real wealth.

| Control & Transformation |
|
“Why does man suppress so much and become unhealthy? Because the society teaches you to control, not to transform, and the way of transformation is totally different. For one thing, it is not the way of control at all, it is just the opposite.
"First thing: in controlling you repress, in transformation you express....” |

| Fear – Love – Orgasm – Health |
| Will you comment on the nature of fear? |
|
|
| “Fear is darkness. It is absence of love. You cannot do anything about it, and the more you do, the more you will become fearful because then the more you will find it impossible. The problem will become more and more complicated. If you fight with darkness you will be defeated. You can bring a sword and try to kill the darkness: you will only be exhausted. And, finally, the mind will think: Darkness is so powerful, that’s why I am defeated....” |

| Lovable You – Warts ’n All! |
|
| I feel caught up in deep shame feelings about my body. I have a hormonal imbalance which makes it quite hairy, and I don’t like my weight. Before, I was thin – I still didn’t like it.
|
"Nothing is wrong in being hairy, mm? And nothing is wrong in being fat! They are just ideas that have been put in your mind by others.
"In fact all human bodies are hairy; it is an unnatural state that they are not hairy. It is because of clothes that hairs have disappeared. Naturally, it is not an imbalance; you are more natural than other people!....” |

In 2006, everything in my life began to fall apart: my relationship of ten years was wobbling and I was completely exhausted at work and yet was afraid to quit my job. A friend told me about the possibility of earning some money organizing courses in Switzerland for an OSHO therapist she knew. It appeared like a light in the dark night.
I was scared, not speaking a word of italian, and also because deep down I felt something big will happen. Once there, I was like a fish in water. Immediately I knew I did not come to meet the therapist but for another purpose which would change my life.
Later on, I left the job, the boyfriend and the house in Switzerland to work in an OSHO Center. A jump into the void. I met a new beloved and wanted to open an OSHO Meditation Center. On osho.com, I found that trainings for meditations and for centers were offered in Pune. Once there, I went and joined the Residential Program.
I was assigned to an office job, the kind I had left and sworn, “Never again!.” This triggered a lot. The course Inner Skills helped me to focus on how I do things rather than what I do. Anything at work can be an opportunity to be present, total, and aware. I also understood. that I create all that happens in my life. And that…gives freedom. Because I can change my inner state and situations change around me.
Still growing here after one year: I am much more flexible, work and free time are no longer two separate things. Life has become easy-easy, and I enjoy being creative!

And Now and Here
Beyond the Duality of Life and Death
Publisher: OSHO Media International
ISBN: 978-81-7261-212-2
Hardbound,
654 pages
Most of us look for security in our relationships, in our choice of living and working conditions, and in our finances. Underlying this search for security is a deep, instinctive fear of death, which continually colors our lives and drives our focus outward, toward survival. But we also have a longing to turn inward, to relax deeply within ourselves, and experience the sense of freedom and expansion this brings.

| Dropping the Middle Man |

“How you look at things depends on you, not on things. Unless you come to a point where you drop the interpreting mind and look directly, look immediately, mind is your mediator. It brings you things distorted, it brings you things mixed with interpretations. They are not pure.
“So the only way to reach to truth is: how to learn to be immediate in your vision, how to drop the help of the mind. This agency of the mind is the problem, because mind can create only dreams. But mind can create beautiful dreams, and you can get so excited. Through your excitement the dream starts looking like reality.
“If you are too excited then you are intoxicated, then you are not in your senses. Then whatsoever you see is just your projection. And there are as many worlds as there are minds, because every mind lives in its own world.”
