Osho is a Hindu guru, mystic and enlightener. Of course, he not only retold the basic principles of all these trends, but also shaped his view of the principles of the universe, and also shared his interpretations with his followers.
Osho himself has repeatedly admitted that he does not subject his thoughts to any systematization, since, in his opinion, all systems are doomed to sink into oblivion sooner or later, and living currents are constantly being updated and improved. Perhaps this is the main advantage of his teaching, which still continues to interest a lot of people around the world, because it does not give simple and monosyllabic answers to eternal questions. It can only help a person to find his own way of forming a personal outlook on life.
Here are the top 10 tips from Osho that he shared with readers on the pages of his books.
10. Learn to laugh more
According to Osho, laughter not only prolongs life, but also helps to make it brighter and cleaner. When a person sincerely laughs, then he briefly becomes a little closer to God, perhaps this property is related by laughter and prayer.
If a person is able to laugh at something sincerely, then he himself is a source of light that can warm not only his loved ones, but the whole world. Indeed, no wonder they say that laughter is contagious. Therefore, you need to laugh as often as possible in order not only to stay in a good mood longer, but also to give a smile to others.
9. Be careful and watch.
An integral mature personality is a person who has known himself, who has formed an indestructible system of values for himself and lives, trying to comply with it in everything. People who do not have an opinion are very easily suggestible, which means they are not protected from the pernicious temptations and manipulations.
8. No one has the right to indicate what is right and what is wrong
No one should ever be interested in the question of what is right and what is wrong. Each of us has been given life in order to find the answers to these questions independently. You can’t live according to a scenario given by someone. And do not be afraid to make mistakes sometimes: even if you turn out to be wrong, it will be a valuable experience that will subsequently benefit you anyway.
7. Be open to new things.
God always gives a person the opportunity to come to him, only you need to be open to this. No need to wait for some miraculous sign to understand that the incredible is near us. A child’s smile, sunrise or sunset, a flowering tree - is this not a proof of the divine principle in everything?
6. Relax
The desire of most people to look in the eyes of others better or more unusual takes a lot of mental strength. Imagine how much of your life energy goes into the void. But you just have to relax and accept yourself as you are - and immediately the world will sparkle with bright colors. Moreover, the authority of a person who does not prioritize the formation of his public image usually increases. Therefore, one should not be afraid to be oneself. Believe me, this is much more interesting than the alluvial husk that turns a unique personality into an empty faceless creature.
5. Life is a series of mysteries and secrets
Life is beautiful precisely because of its unpredictability. A person thinks that he has the power to predict or plan something, but in fact, he can only hope that his personal plans about himself or someone will coincide with the fate, which ultimately decides everything.
There is still a lot of unknown and unknown in the world, but after all, man has been given life to try to solve its secrets independently.
4. First, hear yourself
Let your inner strength find harmony in yourself. Create this balance and you will feel incomparable completeness of being. Find happiness in yourself, and then you will no longer care if someone is next to you or not. You are a whole person. You do not need to live in expectation that someone will dispel your anguish and help in the fight against loneliness. If there is a person near you, this is happiness. If not, it is also happiness. Appreciate privacy because it can heal even the deepest mental wounds.
3. If you are rich, do not think about it; if you are poor - do not take your poverty seriously
We are all guests in this world. We come naked to him, and leave without taking anything with us except our immortal spirit. Therefore, excessive joy over “despicable metal” will never bring happiness and peace. Wealth is a tool for building great endeavors. Wealth is a test of will. Wealth is a colossal responsibility, which not everyone can handle.
If you are able to thank God for every day you live, whatever he brings to you, you can consider yourself the richest of mortals. Remember that suffering arises from a too serious attitude to life and to temporary circumstances, which are life's vanity, not related to eternity.
2. Courage is a movement into the unknown
Every day to smile and move towards new events, not knowing what they will bring - is this not true courage? But keep in mind that courage is not fearlessness, which can be achieved only by completely eliminating all fears in yourself and completely entrusting your fate to the Creator. After all, the line between a coward and a hero is not so obvious. The main difference between them is that the coward becomes a slave to his worries and sacrifices his life to them, and the hero steps on their throat and moves forward.
1. You change every moment
The human person is like a mountain spring. It changes, something gains, something loses. Osho said that the face of the same person is constantly undergoing some kind of change. It changes, even if the person himself does not see it. But one must have spiritual vision in order to notice this. Otherwise, dust settles on it, and everything again becomes the same.
