We all long for boundless love as we long for home. But how can we find our home our meaning and purpose if we don't know our self? Wise-Love is an exploration of the self, or consciousness, guided through the meditative eyes of saints, sages, seers, and mystics. As we embark on the journey to the self, we discover that the self's most charming characteristic part of its eternal, unchanging nature is that it is a lover, a lover who can be satisfied only when ordinary love evolves into wise-love.

Many scholars agree in ascribing its utterances to Buddha himself, while others are of the opinion that it is a compilation made by Buddhist monks from various sources. This classic religious text focuses on practical morality, which, if practiced earnestly and diligently, will lead the practitioner to Nirvana, the state of unconditioned eternal bliss.

Беседы Ошо по историям Чжуан-цзы — это размышления о разных способах поиска своего настоящего "Я". Как известно, многие мистики, стремящиеся к просветлению, сначала терпели неудачу. Они работали над собой днем и ночью, непрестанно медитировали, практиковались — и вновь терпели поражение. Но когда они уже совсем отчаивались и отбрасывали усилия, просветление приходило к ним само собой...Чжуан-цзы, основатель даосизма, говорит, что только так мы можем познать самих себя — не прилагая усилий.

La libertad primera y última es considerado por muchos como el mejor libro de Krishnamurti. Aldous Huxley, en su esclarecedor prólogo, se pregunta: ¿qué es exactamente lo que nos propone el sabio hindú? Y la respuesta es que no se trata de un sistema de creencias, ni de un catálogo de dogmas, ni de un repertorio de ideas, ni de una clase de yoga; lo esencial es trascender los símbolos y alcanzar la libertad de cada instante. Esta libertad surge con la superación del ego, pero también de los "sistemas" de pensamiento organizado.

He argues that spirit is entirely absent from the religion of today, because it has been divorced from science. And, what was once considered religion to the primitive man is very different than what is considered religion now. Psychology, what he called the science of antiquity, is what is needed for the student of the mysteries to regain their foothold in the world.
