Danger: Truth at Work

Danger: Truth at Work
Book — Also available in other formats: eBookAudioBook

This title contains talks number 1-15 from the original series: From Ignorance to Innocence

These talks go to the heart of the most fundamental human issue: although we seem to have all the knowledge we need to solve our problems, why are we still not able to live happily and be content? Osho explains that religious conditioning has held us back and shows how to transcend it.
Each talk covers a different aspect of this conditioning, and in gentle but persuasive language shows how to "demolish all the lies that are surrounding you. " You are not to replace them with anything else – Osho calls the process of spiritual renewal a "dry cleaning of the mind. "

Excerpt from: Danger: Truth at Work, Chapter 4
"Truth, in the beginning, is very inconvenient, is very uncomfortable – but in the end it is the ultimate blessing. We can summarize: a lie is always sweet in the beginning, bitter in the end; the truth is bitter in the beginning, sweet in the end. But you need patience for the end; if you are impatient, then you are going to buy some lie.

"The common masses have no mind of their own: for centuries they have been conditioned, hypnotized, brainwashed continuously. So when a man like me says something, it needs guts even to hear it in the first place. Then it needs tremendous courage to absorb it; because it is bitter, it goes against all your conditioning. So only a very few people who are really seekers of truth will be ready to go through all this turmoil. Everything will go upside down: their God, their heaven, their hell, their devil, their messiahs, their prophets.

"My whole work is to demolish; to demolish all the lies that are surrounding you – and not to replace them by anything else, but to leave you utterly naked in your aloneness. To me, only in your aloneness will you be able to know the truth – because you are the truth.

"You are not to go anywhere to find truth; neither can Jesus give it to you, nor can Krishna give it to you, nor can Buddha give it to you, nor can I give it to you. It is not a commodity that somebody can just give to you. Just think: if truth is a commodity – a thing which can be given to you – then it can be stolen, it can be taken back, it can be lost; anything can happen to it. But nothing happens to truth. It happens to you, but nothing happens to it. It cannot be stolen, it cannot be purchased." Osho
