الثورة لعبة العقائد
لا يقدم الحب أَية تفسيرات بل يقدم التبصر والحسَ العظيمين، يقدم رؤية رائعة من دون تفسيرات، وليس بإَمكانك أَن تخلق منه مبدأ أَو عقيدة دينية.
يهبك الدين عيونًا ووضوحًا بكل بساطة، ولا يعطيك الوضوح أية تفسيرات، لكنه يجعلك قادًراً على الحياة وقادراً على الحبّ. لا يعطيك الوضوح معانيَ، لكنه يعطيك المغزى وهي مفاهيم مختلفة. المعنى شيء عقلي بينما المغزى تجربة حياة. إنه وجودي.
يمكنك رؤية هذا كله في الشرق: فالشرق مُقْعَد في الواقع، والغرب أَعمى. العلم يقدم الطاقة والقدرة والسرعة والتكنولوجيا، لكنه لا يعطيك التبصّر فيما يمكنك أَن تفعل بها. يعطيك العلم التبصّر في المادة وليس في كينونتك الخاصة حيث يستمر التبصر ليصبح تكنولوجيا أعظم وأَعظم ولا تعرف ماذا تفعل بها. عندما تكون لديك التكنولوجيا عليك أن تفعل بها شيئاً ما. يعطيك العلم القدرة بدون أن يهبك الحكمة وهذا يشكّل خطراً، إن الناس في الشرق لديهم العيون ولكن ليس لديهم القدرة على فعل أي شيء.

About the author
Osho
4,305 books6,805 followersRajneesh (born Chandra Mohan Jain, 11 December 1931 – 19 January 1990) and latter rebranded as Osho was leader of the Rajneesh movement. During his lifetime he was viewed as a controversial new religious movement leader and mystic.
In the 1960s he traveled throughout India as a public speaker and was a vocal critic of socialism, Mahatma Gandhi, and Hindu religious orthodoxy.
Rajneesh emphasized the importance of meditation, mindfulness, love, celebration, courage, creativity and humor—qualities that he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
In advocating a more open attitude to human sexuality he caused controversy in India during the late 1960s and became known as "the sex guru".
In 1970, Rajneesh spent time in Mumbai initiating followers known as "neo-sannyasins". During this period he expanded his spiritual teachings and commented extensively in discourses on the writings of religious traditions, mystics, and philosophers from around the world. In 1974 Rajneesh relocated to Pune, where an ashram was established and a variety of therapies, incorporating methods first developed by the Human Potential Movement, were offered to a growing Western following. By the late 1970s, the tension between the ruling Janata Party government of Morarji Desai and the movement led to a curbing of the ashram's development and a back taxes claim estimated at $5 million.
In 1981, the Rajneesh movement's efforts refocused on activities in the United States and Rajneesh relocated to a facility known as Rajneeshpuram in Wasco County, Oregon. Almost immediately the movement ran into conflict with county residents and the state government, and a succession of legal battles concerning the ashram's construction and continued development curtailed its success.
In 1985, in the wake of a series of serious crimes by his followers, including a mass food poisoning attack with Salmonella bacteria and an aborted assassination plot to murder U.S. Attorney Charles H. Turner, Rajneesh alleged that his personal secretary Ma Anand Sheela and her close supporters had been responsible. He was later deported from the United States in accordance with an Alford plea bargain.[
After his deportation, 21 countries denied him entry. He ultimately returned to India and a revived Pune ashram, where he died in 1990. Rajneesh's ashram, now known as OSHO International Meditation Resort and all associated intellectual property, is managed by the Zurich registered Osho International Foundation (formerly Rajneesh International Foundation). Rajneesh's teachings have had a notable impact on Western New Age thought, and their popularity has increased markedly since his death.

وااااااااو ، هذا ما قلته بعد الانتهاء من الكتاب ااذي يشرح فيه أوشو بعض أشعار المتصوف الهندي " كبير "
و من الاقتباساتالت ي اعجبتني :
إن مجد الانسان يكمن في انه الحيوان الوحيد الذي ينضج ، هو يصبح طاقة هائلة من خلال نقصه
الذكاء موجود لأنك ضعيف في غرائزك ، لقد طور الانسان كل انواع العالوم و التكنولوجيا لانه ضعيف جدا
كان على الانسان ان يبتكر الشيطان من أجل ان يحب الله و يكره الشيطان ، و الا لكان عليه ان يحب و يكره الله
تكون الصلاة حقيقية عندما يبدأ الله بالتحدث إليك ، بينما تكون مزيفة عندما تتحدث أنت إلى الله
أعد إلاهك الى الارض فقد نفيته الى السماء

Osho comments some poems of great poet Kabir in this book. By the osho's amazing language you will see the deep meaning of poems. Osho will confuse you as always. And you will sense other dimensions of life.

أود أن أشيد بالمترجم بقدر إشادتي بالمؤلف نفسه ، ترجمة جميلة و سلسة محترمة للمبنى و المعنى معا ، تشبه عملية الترجمة العذبة التي كان يصوغها أوشو لكبير 💜

Brilliantly articulated as usual. Hits the points home of an already blunt rendering by Sant Kabir himself. Unmissable!
Wish they had also included the original poems in the original language instead of only translations. If you know Hindi, suggest you also have the poems in Hindi with you.

My fav quotes (not a review):
-Page 10 |"There can be no serious answers to questions about the meaning of life, for to ask about life is to stand back from life and pretend one is not it."
-Page 11 |"Questions at best are a form of play and may be enjoyed as such. And there are no right answers, only light ones."
-Page 18 |"Just watch. When you love a person what is the motive? You want to be loved? Then it is childish. Or you want to share your love, you have so much that you would like to share it, you have so much that you would like to shower it – then it is mature. Immature love is a beggar, mature love is a king."
-Page 97 |"Remember, the tension has not to be reduced, the tension has to be overcome. The tension has not to be reduced, the tension has to be transcended – you have to go beyond it, not below it. Don’t be an escapist; USE all life’s opportunities to go beyond them."
-Page 102 "to understand a woman means to become that woman."
-Page 103 "understanding needs courage to dissolve yourself. Understanding needs a very adventurous mind who is ready to melt."
-Page 110 "And when I say don’t go into the past, I mean the psychological past. Somebody insulted you yesterday. Now don’t brood over it, there is no need. Don’t play with the wound, it will hurt more. And if you face the man today, don’t react out of your yesterday – don’t say to yourself ’Because this man insulted me, now I have to take revenge."
-Page 110 "Look at the man as he is right now! He may be coming to you to apologize. Look at him as he is right now. Don’t look through the past, otherwise you will be misinterpreting him. This happens every day – you say something, your wife understands something else; the wife says something, you understand something else. Communication seems to be impossible. By and by, husbands and wives become afraid of saying anything at all, because the moment you say anything there is misunderstanding. Why can’t people who love each other, who live with each other, understand each other? The problem is the past. The wife interprets through the past, the husband interprets through the past. Nobody is listening to the present, nobody is there – they both are there like ghosts. The past is there, the present is not there – and because of the past, the clash. One of the greatest problems facing humanity is communication – how to communicate, how to say things so that you are not misunderstood."
-Page 120 "HERE ARE THREE PATHS. The first is the path of action – the hardest, the most difficult, the most masculine. Moses, Mohammed, Rama, Patanjali, Gurdjieff – these people belong to the path of action. Something has to be done to attain to God; great effort is needed, absolute effort is needed, it is arduous and uphill."
-Page 121 "The second is the path of knowledge, just in the middle. Buddha – Buddha called his path the middle way, MAJJHIM NIKAYA – Mahavira, Shankara, Ramana, Krishnamurti:"
-Page 121 "The third is the path of love – the path of devotion, BHAKTI. Narada, Chaitanya, Meera, Sahajo, Ramakrishna – these are the people on that path. It is the most simple, most direct, closest. You cannot find anything easier. This is the shortcut; it is not uphill. You need not do anything – on this path doing will be your undoing. You need only relax and trust."
-Page 122 "On the path of action you have to do much. On the path of knowledge not that much, but you still have to do something. On the path of love you have only to disappear."
-Page 128 "’How shall we avoid heat and cold?’ The master answered ’Be hot, be cold.’"
-Page 218 "And if two lovers go too far into kissing, biting arises. If you go on and on, it is called a love bite. How can love be biting?"
-Page 218 "And when somebody comes to me and says ’How to stop eating? How to stop? – because now the body is becoming ugly, it is gathering too much fat: what to do about it?’ – my suggestion is that unless you become creative you cannot stop it. Dieting won’t help; sooner or later you will start eating again with revenge. Unless your energies become creative you will remain in it; you will go on stuffing yourself."
-Page 219 "Let death awaken you, and let love give you the ecstasy of awakening.’ Both are needed – the shock of death is needed to awaken you, and also the nourishment of love. If there is only the shock of death you may fall into a coma. If there is only the nourishment of love you will go into hallucinations."
-Page 220 "The shock of death will not allow you to go into hallucinations, into any inner lsd-trip. And love and the nourishment of love will not allow you to dry up because of death."
-Page 229 "the master wrote to the disciple and reminded him that he had neglected to describe his current attitude. He wrote back and replied ’Who cares?’ And the master laughed aloud and was glad, for this was real spiritual progress."
-Page 10 |"There can be no serious answers to questions about the meaning of life, for to ask about life is to stand back from life and pretend one is not it."
