The Rebellious Spirit 1 (The Rebellious Spirit): rebellion is a style of life
About this audiobook
Part 1 (talks #01-#10)
Everybody wants change, everybody wants 'the situation' to change, because now even the most stupid person can see that something going off track on our planet and with humanity. If people personally want to change is a different question. In this series "The Rebellious Spirit", Osho provides a blue-print for a revolution, but a different one than we have known from history.
The "buddhas", the enlightened people of the past were not concerned with any social revolution. Their whole concern was with their own spiritual attainment - they were very self-centered. What is needed is a revolution of the poor and I don't advocate a violent revolution. There is no need because the poor are in the majority, and the rich are very few. I teach you love. And love is not blind; love can see the whole structure, how poverty happens. Love can bring the revolution; a revolution brought by love, not by violence is charity to me.
Osho is the first to connect and combine a personal spiritual revolution with a social, global and political revolution.
This series intends to trigger "the rebellious spirit" in all of us.

Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today. His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. ( Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)
About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as " Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.
Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.
