Why Is Communication So Difficult, Particularly Between Lovers?
by Osho
Part of the OSHO Singles series
In the OSHO Singles series of selected talks, Osho addresses major questions and issues of our daily life. With depth and his usual humor we get a chance to look at an issue from a new perspective. Communication between lovers is an issue almost everybody has to deal with and Osho gives a very unique insight to this question: Communication as such is difficult. Of course it is more difficult between lovers. But first you have to understand the general difficulty of communication. Each mind has been conditioned by different parents, different teachers, different priests, and different politicians... and when two minds try to communicate, as far as the ordinary mundane things are concerned, there is no difficulty. But the moment they start moving beyond things into the world of concepts, communication starts becoming more and more difficult.

The Psychological Ignorance about Yourself
by Osho
Part of the OSHO Singles series
In his unique and provocative style Osho takes on here an issue nobody really likes to discuss because we are all affected by it and have very few solutions how to deal with it: JEALOUSY, a terrorizing emotion which has infiltrated our understanding of love and damaged it badly. Osho takes us through an understanding and the historical development and sources of jealousy and that happens always by taking on so called 'holy cows' institutions and facts we almost take for granted and don't dare to challenge. "People say that marriages are 'made in heaven'…a strange kind of heaven, because if these marriages are made in heaven, then what can you make in hell?" Our OSHO Singles mini eBook series continues with this jewel of Osho - a helpful little read which can have a big impact in our understanding.

The Secret of Meditation

Part of the OSHO Singles series
This is one of the most fascinating talks by Osho on meditation. We gain a deeper understanding and an actual experience about meditation through this talk which brings us into a space of meditation. He describes meditation as the very center of his teaching efforts; the very womb out of which one is going to be re-born. "To say something about meditation is a contradiction in terms. It is something which you can have, which you can be, but by its very nature you cannot say what it is. Still, efforts have been made to convey it in some way. Even if only a fragmentary, partial understanding arises out of it, that is more than one can expect." From a a series of talks: From Misery to Enlightenment, by Osho.

by Osho
Part of the OSHO Singles series

How Can Meditation Solve Life Problems or Prevent Wars?
by Osho
Part of the OSHO Singles series
There are three kinds of problems - those that you create - they are almost ninety per cent of the problems of your life. You create them and you go on saying that you don't want them. Ninety percent of the problems simply disappear when you are in a meditative state - because you can see. And by seeing, you stop creating them. Ninety per cent will be solved; nine per cent will not be solved by your meditation but will be dissolved because they will not concern you at all. Seeing that it has nothing to do with you, that it does not arise in you, you have transcended it. One per cent remains. It has nothing to do with you or with others - that one per cent is part of existence itself.

The Power of Yes
Political Revolutions Don't Change Anything, Only an Individual Spiritual Metamorphosis …
by Osho
Part of the OSHO Singles series
Political revolutions have never resulted in the changes they promised. Real change can according to Osho only come from a personal rebellion, a rebellion based on "yes" -- yes to existence, yes to nature, yes to yourself. Humanity has been guided by traditions which are all life-negative - the results of endless wars, a planet in danger and a humanity losing direction are obvious results of these traditions. Only a total affirmation of life, in an absolute yes to nature can bring a new earth and a totally new humanity into being. "Rebellion is a very silent, individual phenomenon that will go on spreading without making any noise and without leaving any footprints behind. It will move from heart to heart in deep silences."

The Mind: A Beautiful Servant, a Dangerous Master
by Osho
Part of the OSHO Singles series
Osho analyses the function of the human mind in connection with meditation. Responding here to a question related to a space of 'no-mind' or mindfulness he says: "meditation covers a very long pilgrimage. When I say "meditation is witnessing", it is the beginning of meditation. And when I say "meditation is no-mind," it is the completion of the pilgrimage. Witnessing is the beginning, and no-mind is the fulfillment. Witnessing is the method to reach the no-mind. Naturally you will feel witnessing is easier. It is close to you. But witnessing is only like seeds, and then is the long waiting period. "

Love and Hate
Just Two Sides of the Same Coin
by Osho
Part of the OSHO Singles series
Question: You say that love and hate are one; but I see more hate in the world than love. At the same time, you say that enlightenment is neither love nor hate. Are you speaking of two different qualities of love? How does this fit with your message of love? "Love and hate are just two sides of the same coin. But with love something very drastic has happened. It is unimaginable how this drastic step was taken by people who had all the good intentions in the world. You may never have even suspected what has destroyed love. It is the continuous teaching of love that has destroyed it. Hate is still pure -- love is not."

Astrology
Superstition, Blind Faith or a Door to the Essential?
by Osho
Part of the OSHO Singles series
In this fascinating volume, Osho reclaims astrology from the pop psychologists and "fortune tellers" and shares the deep insights that first brought this unique science of the stars into being. From ancient India to the lost civilization of Sumeria, from Pythagoras to Paracelsus to Piccardi, we discover that for thousands of years there has been a thread of awareness of how all things in the universe are interconnected - an awareness that modern physics is still struggling to define in scientific terms today. As Osho says: The universe is a living body, an organic unity. In it, nothing is isolated, all is connected. Whatever is far away is connected to that which is near; nothing is separate. So no one should remain in the fallacy that he is an island: isolated, separate, aloof. Everything is connected to the whole, and everything is all the time affecting others and being affected by others. Astrology aficionados and skeptics alike will find something in this small volume to provoke a new way of looking at what really "makes the world go round."
