Rising in Love by OSHO is an amasing book. I was not so aware of this genious (OSHO) before reading this book. Though I was knowing “who OSHO is” , many of my beliefs about him was in a misunderstood way. What my belief was? “Osho was a man of Free Sex & all, he attracted many people through his magnetic tactics & he directed many through the path of Free sex” I dont know how i got this knowledge, may be from Manorama or so. I think one of my uncle has also told me about OSHO as a “Man of Free Sex“. He also said me that OSHO died out of AIDS. So!!! Hehe…

Actually I dont know what the truth is? I will write here when i gets more knowledge about him. Now I will write short on his book “Rising in Love”. OSHO is the most prolific author in this world. He has wriiten about 650 books on different dimentions & major ones related to MEDITATION.

“Rising in Love” like the major ones, it also emphasize about Meditation, Need of meditation & how pure meditation can give you ultimate enlightment. He refers to enlightment as realising yourself, its realising your own soul. He begins the book with “Love” between man & women. Osho points out that, unless a love affair is so conscious it will create a great anguish! In those first pages of book, theres something that went inside me deeply. He says, every affair is a meeting of the Opposites. Both lovers are different at each point of life. So if you are aware of this fact, then the meeting of the opposites will be a wonderful oppurtunity to understand the other ones purely different perspective.

The book advances to the relationship between Master & Desciple in the middle pages. Its also wonderful because Osho speaks in the language of Heart (where Heart is more wise than Intellect). He also speaks about Sri Budha & his concepts of “Nirvana“(Nirvana means going to state of zero), then about Sir. Aurobindo in detail.

I have wondered many tmes, why the Western people run after the Indian Mystics like Sri sri Ravishankar, Sri Amruthananthamay , ofcourse Bagvan Rajanish (OSHO) & many many. This question existed in me as a wonder itself till I read this book. This book gave me a great knowledge that, The West know nothing about Meditation! Meditation is a concept thats purely EASTERN developed by Eastern Mystics to realise themselves, to enlighten or to realise ones own soul. As the western people dont know anything, they will get inspired on these concepts of “Enlightment through Meditation” very easily. Thats why we are seeing a massive number of western desciples to Amrithananthamay, Ravishankar & so on. Now getting “Enlighted” means going to the Zero state of mind & soul, where you will be as Innocent as possible. Mystics say that you will experiance your soul at that state & its the maximum experiance a human can have in his life. Now all these westerns & other desciples will donate their entire “Belongings” (Dollars! Dollars) to the trusts of mystics (like Sri.Amritha, Sri Ravishankar etc etc). This is the reason “Why trusts of these mystics are so Rich” that they can donate even 200 crore rupees in just seconds!

Oh No! I went out of topic!!! I was reviewing that book “Rising in Love” hehe.. Ok. I will say the book is amasing to read & has given me some wonderful knowledge which is very worthy.

You will also get to know that, West is more Intellect & East is more Heart oriented. I will explain this concepts later, but keep in mind “Heart is more wise than Intellect”

Rating: 9/10 (Must read).
