You are still the children searching for sea-shells on the beach. You are still the children collecting wild flowers. You are still the children trying to catch hold of a butterfly. That purity of childhood is still there; it has not been taken away from you -- it has only been superimposed by seriousness, ego, mind. It is there! The rock is blocking the fountain, but the fountain has not disappeared.
Remove the rock and the fountain flows again in all its splendor.

Osho represents what could be called THE NEW CONSCIOUSNESS – the capability to understand that the whole of existence is interconnected and interdependent. The smallest grass leaf is as important as the brightest star - everything is connected and makes its unique contribution to the whole. This new awareness allows us to see and to experience life in a totally different way, opening us to a greater understanding of the mysteries of life.
OSHO: for more than 35 years, he delivered lectures all around the world. The international press calls him “A 21st Century Prophet” and “an oracle of modern times.” He didn’t write, he spoke, and from recordings of his public discourses, hundreds of books have been published. His books and audio lectures are international bestsellers.
Osho himself says that he is neither a prophet nor a philosopher; he is simply sharing his own experience. The Sunday Times described him as “one of the 1000 makers of the 20th century” and American author Tom Robbins described him as “the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ” -- both comments reflecting the profound influence of his revolutionary approach to the science of inner transformation.
Spoken with authority, clarity, sharpness and humour, these original recordings address both timeless and timely concerns in an absolutely contemporary way, reminding the listener of the importance of subjects which, being common to all of human beings, tend to escape our notice in the clamour and overload of daily life.
