Maturitatea
Invataturile lui Osho, unul dintre cei mai cunoscuti lideri spirituali ai secolului XX, rastoarna tiparele clasice de gandire, provocandu-ne la o permanenta punere sub semnul intrebarii a certitudinilor si la un proces de constientizare de sine. Cartile din seria „OSHO“ prezinta viziunea acestuia privind cele mai importante probleme pe care si le pun oamenii interesati de stiinta transformarii de sine si de o spiritualitate adaptata la provocarile cotidiene ale vietii contemporane. „Maturitatea nu are nimic de a face cu experienta de viata. Are legatura cu calatoria launtrica, cu experientele interiorului. Cu cat omul patrunde mai adanc in sine, cu atat e mai matur. Cand a ajuns in centrul fiintei sale, e pe deplin matur. Dar in acel moment persoana dispare si ramane numai prezenta. Pentru mine, maturitatea este un alt nume al realizarii; omul a ajuns la implinirea potentialului sau.“ - OSHO

About the author
Osho
4,354 books6,784 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.

Maturity vs getting old - this was the permanent comparation subject throughout this book.
Basically, maturity represents being your authentic self in a state of awareness. To have this privilege of witnessing the transformation of life throughout the ages is what gives a different meaning to the death aspect, which most people fear.
Some paragraphs and ideas are really eliberating once you read them and reflect on those ideas.
