It is, instead, a question of understanding the subtle workings of the mind. In Book 2, Osho explores the purpose of meditation: to discover the self.

What did he see but the Church, the pledge of the Heavenly Jerusalem, people's ...

The Christian promise is of a life eternal in bliss and without suffering. Science tells and instructs us of probably an extinction of consciousness at physical death, but they’re not sure, The truth is we are eternal beings and live life after life, dying each time and being born again in a new human body, yet most but not all of us in the process forget all past memories, and the illusion given is this is our very first and arguably last life. Only Metaphysical Science — a study beyond the physical — has the power and endurance to challenge the enduring illusion of this being a ...

Marcus Aurelius ruled the Roman Empire at its height, yet he remained untainted by the immense wealth and absolute power that had corrupted many of his predecessors. He knew the secret of how to live the good life amid trying and often catastrophic circumstances, of how to find happiness and peace when surrounded by misery and turmoil, and how to make the right choices—even if they are more difficult—without regard for self-interest. Meditations brings Marcus Aurelius's inspiring words to life and shows his wisdom to be as relevant today as it was in the second century.
