Sex matters: From Sex to Superconciousness by Osho
One of the greatest spiritual thinkers of the twentieth century explores the physical and emotional intimacies of men and women in Sex Matters: Sex to Superconsciousness.
Sex matters to us all. The Osho approach to sex begins with an understanding of how important love is in our lives, while at the same time acknowledges that the journey into love cannot exclude our innate biological energies. With this perspective, it becomes clear that the tendency for religions, and for society in general, to associate sex with sin and morality has been a great misfortune.
Sex Matters begins by deconstructing the layers of sexual repression that the condemnation of sex has inflicted on humans. Throughout the book-in response to questions about everything from jealousy to premature ejaculation, the role of intimacy and the differences between men and women-Osho proposes a vision that embraces sex as a fundamental gift from nature.

Swami Paramananda
The sun, who is the giver of all light, is used as the symbol of the Infinite, giver of all wisdom. The seeker after Truth prays to the Effulgent One to control His dazzling rays, that his eyes, no longer blinded by them, may behold the Truth. Having perceived It, he proclaims: "Now I see that that Effulgent Being and I are one and the same, and my delusion is destroyed." By the light of Truth he is able to discriminate between the real and the unreal, and the knowledge thus gained convinces him that he is one with the Supreme; that there is no difference between himself and the Supreme Truth; or as Christ said, "I and my Father are one."

Sri Ramana Maharshi
Perfect bliss is Brahman. Perfect peace is of the Self. That alone exists and is consciousness.That which is called happiness is only the nature of Self; Self is not other than perfect happiness. That which is called happiness alone exists. Knowing that fact and abiding in the state of Self, enjoy bliss eternally.
If a man thinks that his happiness is due to external causes and his possessions, it is reasonable to conclude that his happiness must increase with the increase of possessions and diminish in proportion to their diminution. Therefore if he is devoid of possessions, his happiness should be nil.What is the real experience of man? Does it conform to this view?
In deep sleep man is devoid of possessions, including his own body. Instead of being unhappy he is quite happy.Everyone desires to sleep soundly. The conclusion is that happiness is inherent in man and is not due to external causes.One must realise the Self in order to open the store of unalloyed happiness.

The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz
In The Mastery of Love, don Miguel Ruiz illuminates the fear-based beliefs and assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in our relationships. Using insightful stories to bring his message to life, Ruiz shows us how to heal our emotional wounds, recover the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of playfulness that is vital to loving relationships. The Mastery of Love includes: • Why "domestication" and the "image of perfection" lead to self-rejection • The war of control that slowly destroys most relationships • Why we hunt for love in others, and how to capture the love inside us • How to finally accept and forgive ourselves and others"Happiness can only come from inside of you and is the result of your love. When you are aware that no one else can make you happy, and that happiness is the result of your love, this becomes the greatest mastery of the Toltec: the Mastery of Love." — don Miguel Ruiz

The river flows rapidly down the mountain, and then all of a sudden it gets blocked with big boulders and a lot of trees. The water can’t go any farther, even though it has tremendous force and forward energy. It just gets blocked there. That’s what happens with us too; we get blocked like that. Letting go at the end of the out-breath, letting the thoughts go, is like moving one of those boulders away so that the water can keep flowing, so that our energy and our life force can keep evolving and going forward. We don’t, out of fear of the unknown, have to put up these blocks, these dams, that basically say no to life and to feeling life.

A Zen Story
A university professor went to visit a famous Zen monk to ask about enlightenment. The monk remained silent, but handed the teacher a teacup. The monk filled the cup to the brim but kept pouring. The professor cried out, “Stop! The cup is too full and I cannot sip the tea!” The monk then spoke: “Like this cup, your mind is filled with too many opinions and ideas. How can you taste enlightenment if you do not empty your cup?”

I laugh when I think how I once sought paradise as a realm outside of the world of birth. It is right in the world of birth and death that the miraculous truth is revealed. But this is not the laughter of someone who suddenly acquires a great fortune; neither is it the laughter of one who has won a victory. It is, rather, the laughter of one who, after having painfully searched for something for a long time, finds it one morning in the pocket of his coat.

Imagine how much the universe must have loved
this thing to make it happen.
Imagine how many stars gave up their hearts
to bring this into fluid motion.
Does it make you curious?
Make you wonder what could be so marvellous?
That idea . . . it was you.
You are the universe’s fairytale come true.

In Zen we like to ask the question, "What did your face look like before your grandmother was born?" Ask yourself this question and you will begin to see your own continuation. You will see that you have always been there. The moment of your conception is a moment of continuation, of manifesting in another form. If you keep looking you will see that instead of birth and death, there is only continuing transformation.

Your life, all of your life, is your path to awakening. By resisting or not dealing with its challenges, you stay asleep to Reality. Pay attention to what life is trying to reveal to you. Say yes to its fierce, ruthless, and loving grace.

The Book of Woman by Osho
The Book of Woman delves into the mystique that is a woman. We get a view of woman as understood by Osho. The book goes into all the details of womanhood and explains all the functions of a woman. The topic is dealt with great sensitivity and vividness.
Osho talks about relationships, family, motherhood, birth control; all the issues that are central to the existence of a woman. A woman should not try to ape a man. She has an existence of her own and she should revel in her feminity and not be repulsed by it. Harmony in life can be achieved by a synchronisation between head and heart. The heart should rule a woman all the time and the head should follow and supply it with reason.

Radhanath Swami
Human nature is that people reciprocate with what you give them. If you are impersonal to others, most people will be impersonal to you. If you do not show care and affection for others, people will probably ignore you. That is human nature.
So anyone can say, “Nobody loves me. Everybody is so impersonal to me.” But I have seldom found someone who extends himself to be caring, loving and affectionate towards others and doesn’t receive love from others. How you behave with others draws certain qualities from within them. If you insult others, you draw out their anger. If you praise others, you draw out their pride. If you are affectionate to others, you can draw out whatever affection is within their hearts. In giving, we receive.

It is true that external nature is majestic, with its mountains, and oceans, and rivers, and with its infinite powers and varieties. Yet there is a more majestic internal nature of man, higher than the sun, moon and stars, higher than this earth of ours, higher than the physical universe, transcending these little lives of ours; and it affords another field of study.

We don’t make the oceans, mountains or the rivers. We don’t make sunlight, clouds or the rain. We simply bear a witness to the majestic creation around us. Yogic texts state that each one of us has an entire universe within us. The Bible, too, says that the kingdom of God is within us. And, that kingdom, this universe of our inner world, has a whole range of places – from exquisitely beautiful to excruciatingly painful. There are dark woods of fear, marshes of negativity, rotting trees of ego, cacti of jealousy, creepers of covetousness, a quagmire of desires and a stinking residue of hate.
Having said that, in our same inner world there are some hauntingly beautiful places, too. An ocean of bliss, tides of love, seasons of life, the colours of spring, a phase of autumn, the warm winter sun of forgiveness, and beautiful moonless nights studded with stars of our random acts of kindness. It’s all there. It’s all here, in us, within us.
