705 booksWe all have questions about death. Why are we afraid of it? Is reincarnation real? What happens when we die? Osho answers these questions with depth, clarity and compassion in a manner that is both humorous and enlightening. In this book, he reveals that our fear of death is based on a misunderstanding. Dying is not a catastrophe, but an opportunity for inner growth. When life is lived consciously, totally and with awareness, there are no regrets or unfinished business at the end of it. Death may seem frightening, but it's not the end—only a transformation into another form of existence or dimension called afterlife or reincarnation.
Osho encourages us to embrace both life and death, seeing them as two sides of the same coin. He suggests that by accepting and understanding death, we can live a more fulfilling and fearless life. So, don't shy away from this topic, instead, explore it to find a deeper appreciation for life.
The Art of Living and Dying emphasizes the importance of living in the present moment. Osho believes that dwelling on the past or worrying about the future distracts us from truly experiencing life. So, take a look at your daily routine and see if you can be more present in your activities.
Osho highlights the importance of meditation in achieving a state of mindfulness and inner peace. He suggests that through meditation, we can better understand ourselves and the world around us. So, why not research some meditation techniques and give it a try?
One of the key messages in The Art of Living and Dying is to free ourselves from fear, especially the fear of death. Osho argues that this fear holds us back from truly living. So, take a moment to check in with yourself and identify any fears that may be holding you back.
Osho invites us on a journey of self-discovery throughout the book. He encourages us to dig deep within ourselves to find our true nature and potential. So, why not take this as an invitation to embark on your own journey of self-discovery?
