The Supreme Doctrine: Talks on the Kenopanishad by Osho (Epub)

Description

The Upanishads can be read today as contemporary sources of wisdom, despite being many thousands of years old. They are direct transmissions of truth – and truth is eternal, above religious dogma and tradition – but because of their antiquity, they can appear cloaked in a mysterious language, which can be hard to understand. Osho, with his fresh and sometimes irreverent approach, brings the Kenopanishad uptodate.

Because Osho can so easily go beyond the intellect, his presentation of this ancient treatise is unlike anything coming from the academic world. For those familiar with exploring ideas through the intellect, this book could be an ideal way to discover what they have been missing. One can open the book to almost any page and be astonished by the brilliance of the insights.

“When you fall within yourself, sooner or later the form will be lost, the name will be lost, because they exist only on the surface. The deeper you drown the more you come nearer to God – God as existence, not as a person.”

⭐ This book is the transcript of Osho’s talks on the Kenopanishad, which is considered as one of the ten most important Upanishads. All Upanishads say that the Brahman is moving in everything, and everything is holy because he is the source of all. The dirty river and the sacred Ganges, to both he gives the energy; to the sinner and to the saint, he gives the energy. The Upanishads also say that whatsoever you do, the doer is always the Brahman; whatsoever you do with your energy, Brahman is moving in it and the same is illustrated in Kenopanishad with the help of a story. The story goes that the Brahman obtained a victory for the devas, the deities. Though the victory was due to the Brahman, the devas became very egoistic and praised themselves for the victory saying: “This victory is due to us only; this glory belongs to us only.” The Brahman noticed this and appeared before the devas in the form of an Yaksha, an adorable spirit. But the devas couldn’t recognize who that Yaksha was.The deities asked Agni (fire), to go and discover who this spirit was. Agni hastened to the Yaksha. The Yaksha asked him who he was and Agni replied, “I am Agni,I am also known as Jataveda; I can burn everything – whatever there is on this earth.” The Yaksha placed a straw before him and said, “Burn this.” Agni with all his might and vigour approached the straw but unable to burn it. He turned back and returned to the devas only to inform them that he was unable to find out who that Yaksha was.The devas then asked Vayu (air), to do the job. Vayu approached the Yaksha and said, “I am Vayu (air). I am also known as Matarisva. I can blow away everything – whatever there is on this earth.” the Yaksha placed a straw before him and said, “Blow this away.” Vayu approached it with full speed but he was unable to blow it away. Vayu withdrew from there and returned to the devas saying “I could not ascertain who this Yaksha was.” The devas then turned to Indra to go and discover who this Yaksha, the spirit was. Indra approached the spirit and the spirit disappeared from indra’s view. TheYaksha disappears and a woman, one of the most beautiful of women, Uma, appears.Osho says that the fire could not burn or the air could not blow a straw because the original source of energy had withdrawn. Because it is not Agni that burns nor Vayu that blows: it is the cosmic force through Agni and Vayu that burns and blows. Without the cosmic force the fire cannot burn or the air cannot blow. Also, Vayu and Agni which represent the ears and the eyes respectively couldn’t recognize the Brahman, whereas Indra which represents the mind could recognize it. Osho again says that only mind can recognize Brahman and that too only indirectly through a medium because when Indra approached, the Brahman disappeared and Uma appeared. Uma becomes the medium. And through that medium Indra could understand who that spirit was, who that presence was.There exists one hundred and eight Upanishads and according to Osho they don’t say anything new but they go on repeating the same thing again and again- one Upanishad is repeated one hundred and eight times. This book consists of 17 chapters of which Osho’s question-answer session appears in alternate chapters. Osho responds to various questions from his disciples on diverse topics like discipline and conditioning, surrender and transformation, denial and acceptance, sin and virtue etc.etc.Given below are some of Osho’s observations:If a problem doesn’t belong to you, you can always give good advice on how to solve it.A mind which desires will always feel frustrated.If you can prove the existence of god, you have not proved the existence of god; you have simply proved that you are a very intellectual being, that’s all.

⭐ Transform your madness into Meditation.Laugh,sing,dance but don’t argue.Make every moment of your life celebration. God will try to search for you.You need not search for God.Tatvamasi.Youarethat.There is no prayer.Only Meditation.A problem rightly understood is solved. Attention is Energy.If you know one,all is known.Where is Brahman? It’s in the worshipper,not in the object of Worship.Nice book. Thoroughly enjoyed.Sairam.

⭐ Good book. An osho classic.
