About Hari Om Tat Sat:The Divine Sound - That is the Truth
Responding to a wide variety of questions, Osho gives straight talk on touchy subjects, including an insightful look at complex global issues.
This series takes a no-nonsense look at the controversial implications of homosexuality and the future of artificial intelligence. Osho is as compassionate, lyrical and funny as ever about relationships, our need to be special, and the newcomer’s bewilderment over the apparent contradiction between freedom and having a master. All of Osho is here from the heart to the hammer.

Excerpt from Hari Om Tat Sat:The Divine Sound - That is the Truth
Chapter 12
"The word "responsibility" has been continuously used in a wrong way. It gives a feeling of burden: you have to do it, it is a duty; if you don’t do it you will feel guilty. I want to remind you that the word `responsibility’ has none of those connotations. Break the word in two - response-ability - and you enter a totally different meaning of the word, in a different direction. Response-ability is not a burden. It is not a duty; it is not something you have to do in spite of yourself.
Response-ability simply means spontaneous response. Whatever situation arises, joyously you respond to it, with your totality, with your intensity. And this response will not only change the situation, it will also change you.
There are two words to be remembered: one is "reaction" and one is "response-ability." Most people react, they don’t respond. Reaction comes from your memory, from your past experiences, from your knowledge; it is always inadequate in a fresh, new situation. And existence is continuously fresh. So if you act according to your past, that is reaction. But that reaction is not going to change the situation, it is not going to change you, and you will be in utter failure.
Response is moment-to-moment. It has nothing to do with memory, it has something to do with your awareness."
