Swami Chaitanya Keerti’s book Osho Fragrance gives an insight into the many angles of life from the perspective of Osho. A few gems from the book, which make it very special: LOVE HAS ROOTS: True love needs to be rooted in earth and also needs wings to fly in the sky. Love has roots in earth; that is its pain, its agony. And love has its branches in the sky; that is its ecstasy. Unburden yourself with laughter. Laughter is a prayer: In laughter, the noise of the mind stops for a few precious moments, allowing us to experience mindlessness or meditation, however fleetingly. Laughter is the highest religious quality and seriousness a sickness of the soul. Body and Soul: We should not create any split between the body and soul. The body is the manifestation of soul and the soul is the invisible body. They exist together as an indivisible organic unity. The first and foremost step on the path of meditation is to accept our body, feel our senses and become aware of them in their entireness. One moment: Enlightenment is to live one’s life here and now. This moment is all. You never have two moments together in your hands; only one single moment. It is such a small moment that there is no space for thinking or thoughts to exist. Either you can live it, or you can think. To live it is to be enlightened; to think is to miss. The book has mentioned anecdotes and quotes from lives of J.Krishnamurti, Chuang-Tzu, the great Taoist mystic of China, Saint Farid, Saint Kabir, G.K. Chestron, Gurdjieff, a Russian mystic, Zen master Hotei who was known in Japan as the ‘Laughing Buddha’ and many more profound thinkers and mystics, which make you delve into the reality of life.
