Compassion – the Fragrance of Love |
|
“Compassion is the highest form of love. Much comes back – millionfold, I say – but that is not the point, you don't hanker for it. If it is not coming there is no complaint about it. If it is coming you are simply surprised! If it is coming, it is unbelievable. If it is not coming there is no problem – you had never given your heart to somebody for any bargain. You simply shower because you have.” Osho |

Compassion The Ultimate Flowering of Love
Many so-called acts of compassion, Osho says, are tainted by a subtle sense of self-importance and a desire for recognition. Others are based on the desire to not really help others, but force them to change. Using stories from the life of Jesus, Buddha and the world of Zen, Osho shows how the path to authentic compassion arises from within, beginning with a deep acceptance and love of oneself. |

Compassion, Love, and Sex
Osho,
“Only compassion is therapeutic” you said. Could you comment on the word compassion – compassion for oneself and compassion for the other?
"Yes, only compassion is therapeutic – because all that is ill in man is because of lack of love. All that is wrong with man is somewhere associated with love. He has not been able to love, or he has not been able to receive love. He has not been able to share his being. That's the misery. That creates all sorts of complexes inside....“ Osho

Meditation of the Month |
Breathing in Love |
|
 |
|
“Love is always new. It never becomes old because it is non-accumulative, non-hoarding.
"Let love be like breathing. Breathe in, breathe out, but let it be love coming in, going out. By and by with each breath you have to create that magic of love. Make it a meditation: when you breathe out, just feel that you are pouring your love into existence; when you breathe in, existence is pouring its love into you….” Osho |

Is Meditation Enough? |
|
|
Osho,
Is Meditation enough to be whole and healthy? Please explain.
“The word ‘meditation’ and the word ‘medicine’ come from the same root. Medicine means that which heals the physical, and meditation means that which heals the spiritual. Both are healing powers.
"Another thing to be remembered: the word ‘healing’ and the word ‘whole’ also come from the same root. To be healed simply means to be whole, not missing anything….” Osho |

What Is False in Me? |
|
|
“You are the symbol of the false. Just look at your personality – it has all come out of nurture, training, discipline, education.
"You have not been allowed to be natural for the simple reason that nature cannot be relied upon. There is no guarantee about nature, there is no security, no safety. Hence every society before the child even comes to know who he is, starts forcing a false mask over his original face, giving him a name, giving him qualities.... And the child is so helpless and so dependent on you that it is almost impossible for the child to rebel. He simply becomes imitation; he starts learning whatever you want him to learn….” Osho |
