Love Song For Osho

-

Kabir is a 15th-century Indian mystic. Born a lower-caste weaver, Kabir opposed superstition, empty ritualism and bigotry. His teachings include scathing attacks against Brahmanical pride, caste prejudice and the very concept of untouchability, as well as exposing the dogmatism and bigotry he perceived around him. Unusually, even for his time, he was embraced by disciples who had been raised in both Hindu and Muslim traditions, who saw in him the embodiment of a life-affirmative approach that transcended the narrow dogmas that divide people and set them against one another. A poet, weaver, husband and father, Kabir lived his life as a buddha and yet as an ordinary man. His poetic songs tell of the ecstasy and the pitfalls on a seeker’s journey on the path of love. In this book, Osho introduces the reader to this extraordinary mystic and his songs, bringing both to light in such a way as to show how they are both timeless and utterly relevant to our time. The path of love as described by Osho, and though the songs of Kabir, is a journey that seeks out and celebrates the divine that is hidden in the ordinary, the love that becomes not just a feeling one has, but ultimately a state of being that one is. “Each song of the bird, and each cloud floating in the sky, is something like a message, a coded message. You have to decode it, you have to look deep into it; you have to be silent and listen to the message.”

Extemporaneous talks given by the author at the Osho International Meditation Resort, Pune, India.

Looking at the world – it seems somehow self-evident that nobody knows - or only very rarely – what love is. Love has become one of the rarest experiences. Love remains the unknown phenomenon, while it actually should be one of the most known. What happened? Read this incredible talk by Osho and learn how to grow love, how to create a climate of love of gratitude and thankfulness. Learn how to give love rather than just looking for it or demanding it. Prepare the ground for love as a natural functioning.
