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 beautiful. 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. The Osho Upanishad The Osho Upanishad Here is a way to participate in what Osho says will ...one daybe remembered as a historical moment the creation of an alivevibrant modern-day mystery school which offers the experience ofa very systematic encounter with the miraculous. Osho is plantingthe seeds of the science of meditation: how to observe the mind andits processes in a relaxed non-judgmental way and find theperception and clarity of self-realization. This book is a unique and fascinating chronicle of the play thathappens between seekers asking for answers to their burningquestions and Osho giving his farsighted and to-the-pointresponses. The miraculous is all around you within and without both. Justa system is needed. The master simply provides a system to enterslowly into deeper waters and ultimately to enter a stage whereyou disappear into the ocean; you become the ocean itself. Osho defies all categorization. As he says I am not much of areligious person I am not a saint I have nothing to do withspirituality. All those categories are irrelevant about me. Youcannot categorize me you cannot pigeonhole me. But one thing canbe said that my whole effort is to help you release the energycalled love-intelligence. If love-intelligence is released you arehealed.
