Introduction
The title of this little book might give you the idea that you have found another self-help or how to
book. This is far from the case. Instead, the Osho insights provided here open a door where all questions of how to
dissolve into a direct experience of your own hidden reality.
We reduce everything into a how. There is a great how-to-ism all over the world, and every person, particularly the modern contemporary mind, has become a how-to-er: how to do this, how to do that, how to grow rich, how to be successful, how to influence people and win friends, how to meditate, even how to love. The day is not far off when some stupid guy is going to ask how to breathe.
It is not a question of how at all. Don’t reduce life into technology. Life reduced into technology loses all flavor of joy.
Osho: The Book of Wisdom, #18
Some of the ideas you encounter here may at first surprise or even shock you. They may go against your beliefs or they may trigger recognition of truths that you feel you have always known but perhaps never expressed.
Whatever the case, relax into new levels of understanding that grow as you come closer and closer to the truth of your own being.
No, this is not a how to
book. It is a flame that can be used to light the hidden corners of your own unique individuality.

Next Time You Feel Suicidal…
The first question:
Osho,
I come from a family where there are four suicides on the maternal side, including my grandmother. How does this affect one’s death? What helps to overcome this perversion of death which runs as a theme through the family?
The phenomenon of death is one of the most mysterious and so is the phenomenon of suicide. Don’t decide from the surface what suicide is. It can be many things. My own understanding is that people who commit suicide are the most sensitive people in the world, very intelligent. Because of their sensitivity, because of their intelligence, they find it difficult to cope with this neurotic world.
The society is neurotic. It exists on neurotic foundations. Its whole history is a history of madness, of violence, war, destruction. Somebody says, My country is the greatest country in the world
– now this is neurosis. Somebody says, My religion is the greatest and the highest religion in the world
– now this is neurosis. And this neurosis has gone to the very blood and to the bones, and people have become very, very dull, insensitive. They had
