Finger Pointing To The Moon

InFinger Pointing to the Moon Talks on the Adhyatma Upanishad Osho draws on the ancient wisdom of this Upanishad to reflect on God religion and the liberation of the self. Religion for him is not worship devotion and prayer but mumuksha the deep longing for freedom from the fetters of everyday life that can lead a seeker on the path to enlightenment. When one reaches this state of kaivalya the abode of truth and eternal bliss beyond mind and speech one becomes unified with the God within oneself. Then one achieves true knowledge and true mastery over the self. These seventeen talks that Osho delivered at Mount Abu Rajasthan make this book a truly enriching guide for those seeking to look within and find answers to the enigmas of human existence.About the AuthorOsho defies categorization. His talks which run into thousands cover everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing society today. Osho's books are not written but are transcribed from audio and video recordings of his extemporaneous talks to international audiences. As he puts it 'So remember whatever I am saying is not just for you . . . I am talking also for the future generations.' Osho has been described by Sunday Times in London as one of the '1000 Makers of the 20th Century' and by American author Tom Robbins as 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ'. Sunday Mid-Day (India) has selected Osho as one of the ten people-along with Gandhi Nehru and Buddha-who have changed the destiny of India. About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He often characterizes this new human being as 'Zorba the Buddha'-capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of Gautama the Buddha. Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's talks and meditations is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of all ages past and the highest potential of today's (and tomorrow's) science and technology.Osho is known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation with an approach to meditation that acknowledges the accelerated pace of contemporary life. His unique OSHO Active Meditations™ are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind so that it is then easier to take an experience of stillness and thought-free relaxation into daily life.Two autobiographical works by the author are available Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic St Martin's Press New York (book and e-book) and Glimpses of a Golden Childhood OSHO Media International Pune India.
