The Power of Love

The Power of Love 
Osho Life Essentials
Book — Also available in other formats: eBook

One of the most important life events is falling in love, yet we never learn about it in school. Societies and religions force us into models and thought-forms that are often in opposition to an organic model of love, which is instead institutionalized by marriage, religious affiliations, and nationalism. This results in love that is, for most people, a painful challenge in one form or another throughout life. In these modern days, where the focus shifts more and more to realizing one's individual potential, Osho helps us to direct our search for love by widening our view - showing us that love has many manifestations and is not limited to the 'other'. One manifestation of love is meditation, a life-changing experience that allows the flowering of real love within oneself and toward others.

One of the most important life events is falling in love, yet we never learn about it in school. Societies and religions force us into models and thought-forms that are often in opposition to an organic model of love, which is instead institutionalized by marriage, religious affiliations, and nationalism.

The Osho Life Essentials series focuses on the most important questions in the life of the individual. Each volume contains timeless yet contemporary investigations and discussions into questions vital to our personal search for meaning and purpose. The Osho Life Essentials series focuses on questions specific to our inner life and quality of existence; for example, is it possible to have an authentic spirituality without a belief in God? What is meditation and how does it work? What can I do as an individual to make the world a better place?

At times when the News seem not to present anything else than hate, violence, anger an division between people, this book by Osho is a great reminder that there is something we are all looking for – love. Osho says that between life and death the most important thing in our lives is love, but yet we do not give this important subject much attention in our education system – who learned in school about love and living yourself? In fact, love is known to us in a very narrow definition and expression, almost automatically connected to a “relationship” - that ship which so often sinks after some time. Love is connected to need and often to frustration when this need is not fulfilled. Here Osho widens our perspective of love to aspects we might have never looked at. He shows an understanding of love where we are much more in control of love and our own happiness, much less dependent to get it from another person. This book can be an eye-opener and give you insights into your own being you might not have considered before.

In this title, Osho talks on the following topics:
Love, Freedom, Aloneness, The Book of Secrets, Innocence, Knowledge, Wonder...
