You may have heard The Starfish Story in which the old men asked the boy why does he bother to throw them back into the ocean, one by one, when there were tens of thousands of starfish on the beach, doomed to die when the sun will rise, because he won't be able to make much of a difference !? ... and the boy, after picking up another starfish and throwing it as far as he could into the ocean, said smilingly : “It made a difference to that one!”
That's what is about here!
Taking its title from a mystic Palto couplet — "just as the river is one, many are its shores" — this discourse explores how the mind's division creates all difference, while beyond mind lies a single, unified taste of truth. Osho uses the image of many rivers merging into one ocean to illustrate how different paths (Buddha's way, Mahavira's way, Christ's way) all dissolve into the same destination, while people mistakenly cling to their particular "shore" — a scripture, a ritual, a tradition — as if it were the truth itself rather than just one of countless ways to reach it.
संत पलटू के एक रहस्यवादी दोहे से अपना शीर्षक लेते हुए—"जैसे नदी एक है, बहुतेरे हैं घाट"—यह प्रवचन बताता है कि मन का भेद ही सारे अंतर को जन्म देता है, जबकि मन के पार सत्य का एक ही स्वाद है। ओशो कई नदियों के एक सागर में मिलने की छवि का उपयोग करते हैं यह दिखाने के लिए कि अलग-अलग मार्ग (बुद्ध का ढंग, महावीर का ढंग, ईसा का ढंग) सभी एक ही गंतव्य में विलीन हो जाते हैं, जबकि लोग गलती से अपने विशेष "घाट"—एक शास्त्र, एक कर्मकांड, एक परंपरा—को ही सत्य समझ बैठते हैं, जबकि वह तो केवल उस तक पहुंचने के अनगिनत तरीकों में से एक है।
A 17-part discourse series given by Osho at Mount Abu in October 1971, based on the ancient Adhyatma Upanishad. Osho explores the nature of jivanmukti — liberation while still alive — describing the liberated one as someone who remains equanimous whether honored by the virtuous or wounded by the wicked, and who no longer distinguishes between the individual soul, ultimate reality, and creation through mere intellectual knowledge. A profound inquiry into what it means to know Brahman directly rather than conceptually.
ओशो द्वारा अक्तूबर 1971 में माउंट आबू में दिए गए 17-भाग वाले प्रवचनों की श्रृंखला, जो प्राचीन अध्यात्म उपनिषद् पर आधारित है। ओशो जीवन्मुक्ति की प्रकृति की खोज करते हैं—जीवित रहते हुए ...
Sufism is the mystical dimension of the Islamic faith. Osho clarifies the Sufi approach to religiosity, which is to become part of the mystery of existence by living meditatively, being total and transcending experience itself. Osho distills the essence of Sufism, not to inform you about the state of mysticism, but to create a situation in which you can discover the mystic within yourself.
These remarkable discourses are original, live recordings made during Osho's
extemporaneous daily talks to audiences of disciples and visitors at his meditation retreat in Poona, India. His talks were, and continue to be, central to his work as a mystic trying to find ways to share his experience. And as you
listen to this great teacher, you too will enter a state of meditative awareness that will bring you to a new understanding of this ancient pathway into the wonders and mysteries of existence.
The tradition of Tantra, of Tantric Buddhism, has existed in India from as early as the 5th Century. The message of Tantra endorses Osho's perspective: that only through total acceptance of ourselves can we grow. In Osho's understanding, Tantra is one of the greatest of man's visions, a religion which respects rather than destroys individuality, and is an extraordinary method of expanding inner consciousness.
A compendium of Osho's meditation techniques and personal letters to disciples — including Dynamic, Nadabrahma, Kundalini, Nataraj, Vipassana, Gourishankar, Mandal, Prayer, Kirtan, and Sufi whirling meditations — along with sutras on witnessing, silence, and awareness in daily life.
ओशो की ध्यान विधियों और शिष्यों को लिखे व्यक्तिगत पत्रों का संकलन — जिसमें सक्रिय, नादब्रह्म, कुंडलिनी, नटराज, विपश्यना, गौरीशंकर, मंडल, प्रार्थना, कीर्तन एवं सूफी नृत्य ध्यान शामिल हैं — साथ ही साक्षी भाव, मौन और दैनिक जीवन में सजगता पर सूत्र।
Taking its title from Kabir's famous line about the word "love" — written with only "two and a half letters" in Hindi, yet containing more wisdom than any scholar's library — this is a collection of personal letters written by Osho (then known as Acharya Rajneesh) to individual disciples between 1968 and 1971, each addressed by name. Rather than formal discourses, these are intimate notes touching on love, surrender, silence, and inner awakening, closing with the same Kabir couplet that gives the book its title.
कबीर की उस प्रसिद्ध पंक्ति से अपना शीर्षक लेते हुए, जिसमें "प्रेम" शब्द को हिंदी में केवल "ढाई आखर" में लिखा गया बताया गया है, फिर भी वह किसी भी विद्वान के पूरे पुस्तकालय से अधिक ज्ञान ...
Osho's discourse series on the Ashtavakra Gita, an ancient dialogue between the sage Ashtavakra and King Janaka considered one of the most uncompromising scriptures on pure nondual truth — sharper and less accommodating, Osho notes, than even the Bhagavad Gita. Rather than reconciling truth with the world, Ashtavakra states it plainly and lets the listener respond as they will. A challenging, luminous entry point into the psychology of liberation.
अष्टावक्र गीता पर ओशो की प्रवचन-श्रृंखला का पहला भाग—ऋषि अष्टावक्र और राजा जनक के बीच का एक प्राचीन संवाद, जिसे शुद्ध अद्वैत सत्य पर सबसे बेजोड़ शास्त्रों में से एक माना जाता है, गीता से भी अधिक बेजोड़ और कम समझौता करने वाला। सत्य को संसार के साथ मिलाने के बजाय, अष्टावक्र इसे सीधे कह देते हैं और श्रोता को अपनी इच्छानुसार प्रतिक्रिया देने देते हैं। मुक्ति के मनोविज्ञान में एक चुनौतीपूर्ण, प्रकाशमय प्रवेश द्वार।
