Nirvana : The Last Nightmare Why does Osho call the desire for nirvana, enlightenment, "the last nightmare"? Because, he says, all desire, all hope is the nightmare-and that this hope postpones us from being in the present moment, open to life and to what truly is. "I will go on singing the beauties of ecstasy, but don't misunderstand me. I'm not trying to convince you that nirvana has to be achieved. It is not a goal. It cannot be made a goal. It cannot be made an object of desire. It is available. Just look. Have an alert look. Life is tremendously bautiful. It is showering on you from everywhere." Through Zen stories, jokes and responses to questions, Osho talks on topics such as the nature of desire, the disease of comparison, man's compulsive need to do, being creative with work, and the freedom of consciousness-all to give us the wake up call that: "Nirvana is not somewhere. It is the whole performance of life." Osho : The Alchemy of Yoga Although born more than four thousand years ago Patanjali remains contemporary ? Yoga has become part of today's natural healthy lifestyle. His Yoga sutras form the bedrock of the logical approach to human development and his approach appears in therapeutic methods such as Primal Therapy. Patanjali is the first person to apply scientific ideas to the possibility of raising life energy to higher levels. And with the current renaissance of interest in Yoga his influence continues into the twenty-first century. Making the obscure obvious and the complicated simple Osho is reintroducing the foundations of Yoga in a way accessible to everyone. ?My commentary on Patanjali is going to be basically different from all the previous commentaries. My commentary will be just as Patanjali himself would have commented.? Osho
