    About this ebook

    We have lost touch with who we are and how we want to live. It started at birth. From birth we are molded according to the beliefs and ideals of others, and our own potential is ignored. It needs immense courage to go your own way, leaving the crowd behind. The moment you do it you are taking responsibility for your life in your own hands. Osho reminds us that it is a step worth taking.

      Very simple but deep. It is a wake up call to all that searching. It humbles you as well.
    • 5/5
      A very interesting and provocative read. I got to admit it challenges some of my beliefs, which is good in a stimulating kind of way.

    Why am I scared to accept myself the way I am?

    Everybody is in the same situation. Everybody is scared to accept himself the way he is. This is how all the past centuries of mankind have cultivated, conditioned every child, every human being.

    The strategy is simple but very dangerous. The strategy is to condemn you and to give you ideals so that you are always trying to become someone else. The Christian is trying to become a Jesus, the Buddhist is trying to become a Buddha. To distract you from yourself seems so clever a device that perhaps the people who have been doing it are themselves unaware of it.

    What Jesus said on the cross – his last words to humanity – is immensely significant in many ways, particularly in this context. He prayed to God, Father, forgive these people because they know not what they are doing.
