What does enlightenment mean? - spiritual awakening discovering the truth about life? Or is it less defined just a formless sense of something to work towards on a journey of personal exploration? Whatever you may have thought or read up to now this book will take you further. It is not about enlightenment it is words spoken by a man who has known about enlightenment - and left it far behind. Through his responses to the questions of people from all walks of life Osho explores the subject the inside revealing the inner workings of a mystic. One starts to have a glimpse that enlightenment is something achievable by anyone Key Product Features ready to take the jump from here and now.And yet while it is the peak of all beautiful blissful experiences it is still an experience. So what is beyond that when goes beyond individuality to the universal dissolving one separation from existence...?,The Upanishads were born nearly five thousand years ago. They are a secret communion, a transmission beyond scriptures, beyond words, between an individual and existence.The seven steps to samadbi or enlightenment that the Akshi Upanishad describes are a like a seeker's map or guide to the inner journey. The first three steps are the waking state of the mind, the surface of our personalities; the fourth and the fifth steps go deeper as we enter into our subjectivity; the sixth stage is still deeper, where there are no longer any objects or subject, and the seventh is not a step at all, it is our very nature, our being, Like Osho, the Upanishads don't teach renunciation. Instead, Upanishadic wisdom encourages us to live in the world, play in the world, rejoice in life, and to experience the unchanging and eternal as we journey on these seven steps."The world of the Upanishads is very close to my approach. In fact, what I am doing here is giving a rebirth to the spirit of the Upanishads."
