Osho Zen and his philosophy of life

“If you love a flower, don't pick it. Because if you do, it will die and stop being what you love. So if you love a flower, let it be. Love is not about possession. Love is about appreciation.”

When something inside you tells you that the pre-established does not satisfy you, you have two options, embark on a search journey towards what generates calm, peace and also serves as a motivational fuel to continue, to be in total and complete harmony. with what you are and what you represent, obviously the other option to choose is to do nothing, to remain static, still, and remain dissatisfied, that is exactly how I felt when I felt that I did not identify with the traditional, with the common, especially when I felt that my soul was looking for spiritual depth but that it was not found in any religious or philosophical current, therefore I chose to undertake a search, something that I have to affirm is that when you decide to follow your heart even if it is an unknown path, destiny or force Superior will put the right people, the right information where even if it is something unknown you will feel that it is something that was always yours, only that it was lost and you were finding it.

As I explained before, this is how the current of master Osho Zen came into my life, a new perspective that helps to transcend, that helps to exalt life from other forms and ways. Now, who was it? The truth is that the way this being saw the world was extremely interesting and incredible, it even dictated that he had never been born and obviously he would not have simply died, his soul, spirit in flesh and blood came to visit the world between 1931 and 1990, a person who even shed his name, as is evident, decided to call himself Osho since he firmly believed that he was like a supremely healing oceanic sound, an extremely sincere person, as they say colloquially without mincing words, who had no hypocrisy or falsehood in your heart and in your life.

Osho came to show us that many times the path to connect is not in philosophy, religions, or politics, but is inside, stripping us of all superficiality and material elements, going to the beginning of everything, deep inside where we will only find a human being, where he is the base of life as well as where true peace, harmony and tranquility are generated in the silence of the soul, helping us to achieve a high and elevated consciousness, about Osho there are not many details, a very wise person, a person who his vibes and energies denoted more for him, as well as for his very visionary ideals, he has managed to transcend even after many years of departure, a person that we can get to know more through his expressions and writings, full of a high consciousness not suitable for everyone, not everyone understands their way of life, their style and their line of thought.

There were many people at that time who had the opportunity and grace to meet this great character, so I want to write and show some of the opinions that these people expressed about the great Osho, also a way to get to know someone a little more. The bottom line is to know what his environment thinks of him, so we will start with the great Dalai Lama who was one of those who knew him and issued the following verdict "Osho is an enlightened master who is working with all possibilities to help humanity to overcome a difficult stage in the development of consciousness", on the other hand we also find the opinion issued by the High Commissioner of India in Singapore "Osho frees you from the existing mentality... he includes, he does not exclude.", on the other hand the Dr. A. Schleger, Ph.D., Institute of Technology, Switzerland “Never before or since have I met someone who has such a harmonious and immensely creative vision that encompasses art, science, psychology, h humanity and religiosity”. Certainly we would substantially lack his vision of the new man.

Now, we already knew some outstanding opinions that were formed and promoted around the great Osho Zen, now another way of knowing him, of creating bond, empathy and ties with his way of thinking, his beliefs and his lifestyle is through his writings, thoughts and words like “That is the simple secret of happiness. Whatever you do, don't let the past get in the way, don't let the future bother you. Because the past no longer exists, and the future has not yet arrived. To live in memory, to live in imagination, is to live in non-existence”, words that urge us to live without fear in the here and now, words that help us clear our minds, stop limiting ourselves and finally give new things a chance. things, another super short phrase but that invites us to reflect is the following "Life begins where fear ends", many times we have plans that we postpone because the fear factor overwhelms us, believing that we are even fakers, beings that although we possess all the capabilities and the tools to achieve success cannot be possible without first infallibly believing in ourselves, in our thoughts, idea and lifestyle.

Finally, to finish this flash article about Osho Zen, I want to make two very clear thoughts about what was very important in his way of seeing life, one is “You are not wrong! Simply your model, the way you have learned to live is wrong. The motivations that you have learned and accepted as yours are not yours, they do not satisfy your destiny”, we must understand that in order to constantly evolve we must be willing to constantly question and unlearn what we have learned from life, on the other hand, that Osho was not devoted to philosophy, he had his thoughts and beliefs but they did not want it to form philosophies we see it in the following sentence:

The mind is the seedbed of philosophy

"I am not teaching philosophy here because I am teaching 'no-mind'. And if you come to no-mind, all philosophy disappears: Christian, Hindu, Mohammedan, Buddhist - all philosophies disappear: Hegelian, Kantian, Russian, all philosophies disappear. If the mind disappears, where can philosophy exist? Where can it grow? The mind is the seedbed of philosophy.

Let the mind disappear. And the beauty is that when there is no mind and no one to philosophize with and nothing to philosophize with, one comes to know. Philosophy is the blind man's effort. It is said: philosophy is a blind man in a dark room on a dark night, looking for a black cat that is not there...”.
