Love, Freedom and Aloneness

Core Osho. All his fundamental philosophies are here. There are flaws, but they're surprisingly few. The thinking shows a deep understanding of human relations and religion, and his directions are compelling and powerfully expressed. We may not agree with everything, especially from a practical point of view, but I could relate to a lot of it and found it extremely valuable.

Redefining Love. Love comes from Sanskrit word Lobha, in english that means Greed. And indeed the love we experience is full of greed and possession. Started reading it and this book is becoming close to my heart ever since.

Exceptional and very informational. Truly readable and understandable. The real living of life. To become a born worthy and super.

This book starts with the paradoxical love it's definition in Osho's simple way. Section1:The Love: starting chapters describe the Love and it's deepness. The questions at the backside are more helpful in understanding our problems with love. Section2: The Freedom: It so well the describes the Freedom in a relationship and freedom in love. You can be in a relationship and be with absolute freedom. Relationship doesn't make you imprisoned. A whole new perspective Section3: The Aloneness: In this he says man is born alone and leaves alone. Aloneness is the basic nature of man. You can be in the crowd and be absolutely Alone. He describes well the difference between loneliness and Aloneness. The story of the Monk and two women in the ending section unfolds everything about love and meditation. The Language is simple. This is the first time I read Osho and I was impressed by the simple language he uses and his style of traversing deep into his philosophy.

This is the best book for someone who actually wants to feel what real love means and the depth of relationships.

Worth reading !!

Best ever read... if u read it, u miss something very important in life

Awesome Book

In dieser Zusammenstellung aus Reden von Osho, früher Bhagwan, werden grundlegende Aspekte des menschlichen Lebens und Zusammenlebens besprochen. In einer ehrlichen und liebevollen Sprache werden die Wurzeln unserer Probleme aufgedeckt und aufgezeigt, wie wir zu einem authentischen und natürlichen Leben finden können. Osho erklärt uns anschaulich, wie wir durch unsere Sozialisation eine Persönlichkeit entwickelt haben, die uns daran hindert, mit dem Leben zu fließen. Erst wenn wir unsere gesellschaftlichen Prägungen erkennen und akzeptieren, können wir innerlich frei werden, und damit auch frei für andere und für die Liebe.

This book literally changed my life. Of course, a few things in my life were leading up to the point where I would finally be introduced to it, but once I started reading it, I could not stop and finished it faster than other book I have read in my life. While you must have an open mind to accept some of ideologies presented, keep in mind that the book is a transcription of speeches Osho held and therefore, some of the words are translated from his native tongue and sound almost rude when reading it in English. An absolute must read for any person interested in opening up their spiritual side and digging deeper within.

As everytime i am very happy with another book of Osho. Interesting and well written

If you are new to Osho then you are in for the most beautiful period of your reading and seeking. Although this seems a bold statement, I feel it is understated. In this one book one will learn a lifestyle that is natural and flowing. There are no rules, no golden gems of a 10 point plan. What you get is how to balance a lifestyle of meditation and love. The polarities. Aloneness and relationships. To seemlessly dance between the two. The style is very flowing like a conversation. This is no accident. The book is put together from talks that Osho has given. Some 5000 hours of recordings have been taken. If you loved Eckhart Tolle's the power of now and wish for more reading of that quality, you will find Osho books equally as good. I've read the full 6 books of the insight series. All are brilliant. I recommend Sex matters highly as well. Osho Zen and Osho Tao are also brilliant. However, if I was asked to recommend one essential book for someone new to Osho it would be Love, Freedom and Aloneness. It's hard to really review Osho because you are not quite sure what's really going on. Just by reading you feel something is happening. That something is a resounding "A-ha" to it. I've read carlos Castaneda all of them, I've read most of Stuart Wilde's books which I thought could not be surpassed yet Osho has done this with ease. With Osho there is no fighting within. You start with were you are and remove things very gently. He loves to bring a gentleness to the way you treat life and especially yourself. I've never thought of brushing teeth violently. However, when you compare that to brushing teeth gently, you begin to understand how you treat yourself. A small violence, but still it is there. Osho takes you on a journey of Man, politics and religion, he unravels the contradictions and the subtle cunning under-current of our politicians and religious leaders. He cannot unravel the mystery of life, he embraces the mystery and uncertainty. What I have noticed when reading is the fluidity of the words, sentences and chapters. You know that there is no-one there. Osho stepped aside many years ago. The words are straight from the great unknown, without filters, pure and brilliant. He was a truely brilliant, intelligent man and yet highly evolved in his spirituality or religiousness[not in the sense that we normally associate with this word. Uncluttered with religious dogma.] as he liked to often use. Once you read his biography you will come to know why you perhaps have not heard much about this man. What he has to say in his books, if understood and applied, will make each person a tower of immortal strength that no force on earth will be able to control. That's why the man was banned from so many developed countries towards the end of his life. His words are all there to lead you to becoming enlightened without an intermediatory. This would be a state of such peace tranquility and blissfulness, that the thought of becoming enlightened doesn't scare me any more. Creator of the Beginner Tai Chi (DVD)
