‘One needs a house, one needs food, one needs money and one needs clothes; one should pay attention to all these things, but they should not become all and everything. Some space, some time should be given to the inner exploration. That’s what I call meditation: sitting with yourself, being with yourself, available to your own subjectivity… Seeing oneself, one is born anew. Meeting with oneself is a rebirth, the real birth.’
Osho is a thoroughly contemporary mystic who understands our hopes and wishes, our dreams and ideals—and the practical reality of our day-to-day lives. First in the Morning offers a realistic solution to anyone who longs to bring meditation—and the moments of peace, relaxation and awareness that accompany it—into their way of life.
The passages in this book are all taken from one-on-one talks with Osho. Simply start each day by reading the passage for that morning. You will find Osho’s insights on a variety of subjects, including the nature of bliss, love, joy, godliness and meditation. This book, with extracts specially selected for the morning, is invaluable for those already familiar with meditation as well as the newcomer to the inner world.
