⭐The Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain; 1931-1990; he changed his name to “Osho” shortly before his death) was a controversial Indian spiritual teacher with an international following. His teachings on Tantra and sexuality earned him the name “the sex guru” in the mass media; he moved his ashram from India to Oregon in 1981, where they had substantial conflicts with the local community (including a criminal food contamination attack on Oregon residents ordered by the ashram leaders); he was deported in 1985 [see

⭐], and finally settled in India again, where he died. His teachings continue to be promoted by the Osho International Meditation Resort. His daily lectures were recorded for many years, and turned into books.

⭐He says in this 1981 book, “There are laws of the inner world. Those laws have been discovered just as much as scientific laws have been discovered. Neither have scientific laws been invented, nor have religious laws been invented. Truth is—you need not invent it… I have called this series Philosophia Perennis—the perennial philosophy. Those laws are not time-bound, they are beyond time. Time itself functions within those laws.” (Pg. 4-5)He asserts, “The whole history of humanity would have been totally different if Pythagoras had been listened to, understood. There is no need for the East to be East and the West to be West. There is no need for anybody to be just a materialist or just a spiritualist. If body and soul can exist together—they ARE existing together in you, in everybody—then why can’t materialism and spiritualism exist together? They SHOULD!” (Pg. 13)He argues, “Celibacy is life-negative. It is saying NO to life, because sex is the source of life. And when you say no to life it is almost impossible to repress the desire. It goes on coming, and again, again… It creates perversions.” (Pg. 70) He adds, “Priests are always against life, because the priests can have power over you only if you are weak. And to make you against life makes you weak. Then all kinds of perversions settle in.” (Pg. 100)He suggests, “Don’t enter [sex] with lust, enter with prayer—then you will be able to know the secret of sex. Don’t enter to exploit the other, enter to share with the other. Don’t enter as if sex is just a kind of relief—that is the lowest form of sex. The highest form is not relief but ecstasy. Relief is negative.” (Pg. 108)He says, “Science has its own limitations. I am ready, I can invite scientists to come here to watch what is happening. They are welcome. But they will not be able to know the real thing that is happening here. They will only be able to know the body of it, they will miss the soul—their very methodology prevents it.” (Pg. 230)He explains, “My effort here is not to change the society but to transform the individual—to help the individual to become whole, to help the individual to drop this rift between the conscious and the unconscious; to help the individual not to repress any more but to accept himself, not to condemn but to love himself. You can call it a ‘self-regarding cult’—because I teach self-love… You have been told, ‘Love others, but never love yourself.’ But how can you love others if you cannot even love yourself?” (Pg. 255) He adds, “I have no idea to impose on you, I have no morality to teach you, I am not here to help you to create a character… I teach you to live characterlessly—without any armour, without any past dominating you, without any ready-made answers. (Pg. 295)He notes, “People continuously ask me why Indians don’t come here. The reason is simple: they are not interested in the inner. They cannot yet AFFORD to be interested in the inner, they are so poor. Their whole life consists in searching for food, employment—how can they be interested in meditation?” (Pg. 347)This book will be of interest to anyone interested in Osho’s eclectic teachings.
