Singing Silence Oshointroduces the spirit of Sufism in a unique way: A Sufi need not be aMohammedan. A Sufi can exist anywhere in any form - because Sufism is theessential core of all religions. Sufism makes a religion vibrant. Sufismsimply means a love affair with God with the ultimate a love affair with thewhole. It means that one is ready to dissolve into one's heart. It knows noformality it is not confined by any dogma doctrine creed or church. Christ isa Sufi so is Mohammad. Krishna is a Sufi so is Buddha. This is the first thingyou should remember. That Sufism is the innermost core - as Zen is as Hassidismis. These are only different names of the same ultimate relationship with God.This book elucidates Osho's views on Sufism garnered from his lectures; but more than that it helps inunderstanding Osho's philosophy towards life and religion. The Heart Of Yoga The practice of Yoga is now being widely embraced by the West in an endless range of evolving formats particularly with added movement components. It is therefore very timely that Osho with his razor-sharp insight respect and compassion for the individual brings a wider understanding of the potential benefits of Yoga for contemporary people in these talks on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Patanjali lived around 400BC and although Yoga was already in existence he was able through his unique combination of logician poet and mystic to present Yoga in a way that could be of help to all. And that continues to be true today. Osho describes Patanjali as a mathematician of the ultimate poetry; a mystic with a scientific mind who analyzes and dissects as if in a lab but his lab is one of the inner being. Patanjali has searched deeply into human energy and devised many techniques; he has found that in order to meditate the body mind and being need to be healthy. His discovery that the body energy becomes whole with the chanting of om the basic sound of existence and his findings of the deep connection between breathing and thinking have been of great importance to generations of meditators. ?The body is your anchor your ship which will lead you to the other shore. The body keeps the treasure the seeds of the divine within you protected.? Osho
