Challenging the religious concept of God the creator, Osho invites us to consider that everything in existence is comprised of "something" - call it God or godliness, matter or electricity, ABC or the divine. What is important is being willing to recognize our own inner godliness or divinity. Dangerous? Osho goes on to speak about what it means to live dangerously.

This was good, short intro to Osho, but hard to say how impactful it is, I would Recommend the Heart Sutra book first.

Ok, I'm it's own

This was one of my favorite Osho talks. The irony is that the title only applies to the first ten minutes of this Osho talk, he merely addresses people's fear and says that living life fully requires being courageous. Essentially rather than seeking an easy life with a house, a comfortable job, nice car that you should live fearlessly, essentially throw caution to the wind and really live with a zeal for the experience of life. Basically he said don't live in fear, don't seek security at the cost of not really living. All this was said in the first ten minutes. The second part of the speech was far more interesting to me and it was all about desire. Sexual desire is the perfect example here but Osho said whether you give into it and do what you want or you deny yourself both lead to dissatisfaction. He basically said desire is like a fire and the more you feed it the bigger the fire gets and the more you want. It's like the desire for money, you want more and think if I just have these things than it will be enough and my life will be better but once you get what you wanted you want more. Desire is an unquenchable fire that will never be satisfied and Osho's solution was to temper that desire with letting go. Don't feed the fire, dont seek out opportunities to gratify your lust for more because it will never be enough. This speech really spoke to me and the desire part was what most of the content of this speech was about, I only laid out a small part of it here but this is definitely one worth coming back to over and over again. Highly recommend!

Osho defines how to really live, and how to deal with desire in a world gone mad.
