Although no one can be expert in all these areas, the living of life does not offer the choice of avoiding any of them.

Secondo Osho «Il silenzio è la meditazione per eccellenza, ed è la base di qualsiasi esperienzareligiosa. Ma in cosa consiste? Potresti crearlo, potresti coltivarlo, potresti importelo... ma così rimane qualcosa di superficiale, di falso, una finzione. Potresti farne una pratica, in quel casoinizierai a percepirlo e a sperimentarlo; ma proprio il tuo farne un esercizio, lo renderà una sorta di autoipnosi. Quello non è il vero silenzio. Il silenzio vero affiora solo quando la tua mente si dissolve, non a causa di un qualsiasi sforzo, magrazie a una comprensione.

Warum positives Denken uns nicht weiterbringt, Schimpfen aber schon. Dieses Hörbuch ist ein Aufruf zum Widerstand gegen die Ideologie unserer Zeit: den Zwang des Glücks. Ratgeber und Duschbäder fordern uns auf, positiv zu sein. Wir sollen Scheitern als Chance begreifen und ständig unser Selbst entfalten. Doch der Terror des Positiven nervt, belastet uns alle und schwächt den Zusammenhalt: Wir betrachten Glück als Prestige und verstehen politische Probleme als persönliches Versagen.
