‘On one hand, we see Krishna playing on his flute and dancing; on the other hand, our lives are filled with misery and sorrow. On one hand, Buddha talks about the ultimate peace, on the other hand, we say that we don’t even know what peace is. On one hand, Christ talks about the kingdom of god, on the other hand, we see nothing else but the hell all around us. Either all of them are mad, or we have gone astray. But they are not wrong; it is us who have gone astray…we have not recognized our own path.’
What is the difference between our actions and the actions of Krishna and Osho? My actions are ‘mine’—this seems to be the problem. We stand behind our actions with all the heavy burden of our desires and expectations. When things turn out to be the way we want, we are happy. When life does not follow our plans, we complain with god and we curse the series of circumstances that has prevented us from actualizing our dreams. This seems to be our pattern, as human beings, for countless lifetimes.
In this book, Osho shows us the key which unlocks the door to ‘desireless action’—the path of Karma Yoga.
Osho is universally recognized as a great mystic—a rebel prophet—and a world teacher. His talks have inspired millions of people across the globe on the path of self-evolution.
