About this listen
From the series: "YOGA–The Science of the Soul".
Can Yoga make you happy–what is the secret of happiness?
While the practice of Yoga is now being widely embraced by the West in context with health benefits, body flexibility and as a relaxation method, in a world where most of us now have on a material level almost everything we need, the spiritual aspects and questions of quality of life, happiness and well-being are center stage questions now. To be happy is now more valued than material riches, money and prestige which many have but realize that they did not find happiness through them.
In the series of talks titled "Yoga–The Science of the Soul", Osho explores the original Yoga sutras of Patanjali, bringing their timeless wisdom into the modern world. The complete series consists of ten volumes, each with ten extraordinary talks that address key issues across many dimensions of our lives.
Hidden within these ancient scriptures—and revealed through Osho’s powerful interpretation—are incredible teachings and timeless lessons.
One of the chapters from this audiobook gives the series its subtitle: “How to Become More Beautiful and Happy.”
Happiness is a deeply explored topic here, with far-reaching implications for our personal well-being.
According to ordinary thinking to be friendly with someone who is happy is very easy. The truth is it is not! In fact, is one of the most difficult things in life. If somebody is happy, immediately you are shocked–how is it possible? How come you’re not happy the other is? This seems like injustice. With the happy you feel jealous–in a subtle competition. You feel inferior with happy people. You may show your happiness, but that’s just a facade, a show, a mask. Learn about the secret and once the secret is known, once you know how one becomes happier, and how with others’ happiness you create a situation for yourself to be happy, there is no barrier; you can go as far as you like. Learn the secret of being happy with the whole universe, with every flower, river, rock and star; become one with this continuous eternal celebration.
This remarkable OSHO Classic audiobook belongs in everyone’s library!

Story
Not believing, but only experiencing, says Osho in this inspiring series of talks, is a way of finding truth and meaning. While Nietzsche's declaration that "God is dead, therefore man is free" was an incredible step in understanding, he argues, it is in itself a negative solution and does not bring freedom. Simply removing God is not enough. Osho is no atheist by far and not in favor of any "anti-believe" system either. "It is meditation that fulfills your inner being and takes away the vacuum that used to be filled by a great lie, God."

Story
With an entire genre of self-help books available in the market, this series of talks by the enlightened mystic Osho stands apart. Through his commentary on the tiny but exquisite Song of Meditation by Hakuin, “one of the greatest of Zen masters”, Osho speaks on how contemporary man goes through life with the idea that he must be different from how he is and so trying to change. Whether the search is for self-improvement or self-realization, Osho simply states that “trying” is what is in the way.

Most discussions on Tantra begin and end with sex; not so here. With his customary clarity and lucidity, Osho reveals in detail—and in a contemporary language—the real nature of Tantra, a way of life both natural and meditative, where inner transformation and outer practice meet. Learn about the mystical insights found in the ancient Tantric writings, and the many significant Tantric meditation techniques that are as relevant to the modern-day seeker as they were in earlier times.

Here Osho deals with the difference between the intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit or intuition. Mind knows reality through logic while intuition is how the spirit experiences reality. Osho describes the three different levels of the ladder of consciousness: the lowest and the first is instinct; the second, the middle, is intellect; and the third, the highest and most subtle, intuition.

Commenting on the haunting songs of Kabir, Osho takes the listener to the very core of the human dilemma, to the simple cause of man's misery - that he thinks that he is separate from existence: his inability to comprehend why the fish in the sea is not thirsty. Osho also answers questions, speaking on emotions and being detached from them, aloneness and love, imitation, children and religion, rebellion, living in a balanced way, sex, the generation gap, and much more.

Story
What if Jesus were not a supernatural being conceived by a virgin but a real human being who had experienced the awakening of consciousness known as "enlightenment" in the East? This extraordinary line-by-line commentary on some of the best-known New Testament Gospels from Matthew and John tests the hypothesis that Jesus was a mystic, not a miracle worker of supernatural origin. Osho convincingly makes the case that the stories of Jesus' life were never meant to be a factual record of history but rather are teaching parables.
