The words in this small book are in the form of exquisite letters, written to individuals who are seeking something beyond day-to-day life and so practicing meditation. The letters are intimately personal and, at the same time, universal.

Osho urges each recipient to go deeply into their meditation, reconnecting with the silence of existence. His love showers through, creating messages that are powerful and of great significance.

The pace of life today is often frenetic. You will find self slowing down as you read these letters.

Osho's unique contribution to the understanding of who we are defies categorization. Mystic and scientist, a rebellious spirit whose sole interest is to alert humanity to the urgent need to discover a new way of living. To continue as before is to invite threats to our very survival on this unique and beautiful planet.

His essential point is that only by changing ourselves, one individual at a time, can the outcome of all our "selves" - our societies, our cultures, our beliefs, our world - also change. The doorway to that change is meditation. Osho the scientist has experimented and scrutinized all the approaches of the past and examined their effects on the modern human being and responded to their shortcomings by creating a new starting point for the hyperactive 21" Century mind: OSHO Active Meditations.

Once the agitation of a modern lifetime has started to settle, "activity" can melt into "passivity," a key starting point of real meditation. To support this next step, Osho has transformed the ancient "art of listening" into a subtle contemporary method- ology: the OSHO Talks. Here words become music, the listener discovers who is listening, and the awareness moves from what is being heard to the individual doing the listening. Magically, as silence arises, what needs to be heard is understood directly, free from the distraction of a mind that can only interrupt and interfere with this delicate process.

Living Is Love When gladness glides in the deep lake of silence, warm breath of love hums an unheard song.

When open sky is wide awake under thy gaze, fog of doubt melts away and fragrant breeze reveals the sweet pollen of bliss. The lake, the lotus and the unseen lover merge in one lightening thrill.
