El poder de las palabras puede conducir a la iluminacion.
Osho sabe como definir las palabras usando un lenguaje actual y guiarnos hacia respuestas iluminadoras. Pero este libro es aun mucho mas: mientras Osho va describiendo el significado de cada una de las palabras, ofrece tambien maneras de experimentarlas espiritualmente. A menudo lo hace sorprendiendo al lector e invalidando cualquier nocion previa que pueda tener, para asi poner de relieve el significado profundo de cada concepto.
En El ABC de la iluminacion hay mas de 800 entradas, desde la abnegacion hasta el yo, pasando por Dios, los gurus, la ira, la neurosios, la risa y el sexo. Con este diccionario, Osho logra impregnar nuestro lenguaje cotidiano de procesos y sentimientos espirituales hasta ocnvertirlo en algo simple y auntentico, un espejo real de nuestro mundo interior. Y consultarlo hace renacer, de inmediato, las energias que buscamos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Feel the power of words that lead to enlightenment.
The ABC of Enlightenment is Osho’s lively – and surprising – ABC of the inner spiritual life. He defines words in contemporary language that lead to practical enlightenment. But the ABC of Enlightenment is much more – as Osho defines each word, he offers ways readers can experience those words spiritually – often by shocking them out of thinking they already know what the word means so they can more powerfully experience the meaning of the word: Acceptance – Just for 24 hours, try it – total acceptance, whatsoever happens. Someone insults you, don’t react, and see what happens.
Suddenly you will feel an energy flowing in you that you have not felt before. Gurus – Gurus and disciples are mind phenomena. Because you mind needs gurus, there are gurus…This is a game. Some people enjoy it so they play it. If you enjoy it, play it deeply; if you don’t enjoy it, forget it. Mantras – Chanting a mantra can only dull your mind; all repetition dulls the mind, makes you silly and stupid…The real silence is positive; it has energy in it, it is intelligent, aware, full of life and zest. Sex – Sex should be more fun than such a serious affair as it has been made in the past. It should be like a game, a play: two persons playing with each other’s bodily energies. Transcendence – You don’t have to transcend anything.
You have to live everything that is natural to you, and live it fully, without any inhibition…Just by living it deeply, a transcendence will come. If you try to transcend, you are going to repress…The ABC of Enlightenment offers a basic, practical language of words and terms that enlighten and empower.
