OSHO: Books I have Loved

[11someguy69]

He must've been very dangerous man. He was arrested in the USA and poisoned while he was in jail. In one of His talks He calls USA a fascist country. USA, the church, was perceptive in a way that his ideas carry truth and that they are potent. USA is the biggest criminal country in the world!

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

can someone (the uploader) please explain us the mystery of his reading? I'd really want to understand this problem... for sure it's a "fast" reading, ultra fast I have to say, but even in this case: he stopped reading when he was almost 50 I understood: he started when he was 2? btw this means also a LOT of time to dedicate... the whole day, for years and years, fast reading and no other activities. I'm shocked they didnt' ask him for clarifications

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

he has read 150.000 books?!???!?!?!?! 3000 book per year? on average 100 pages per book, 300.000 pages per year? impossible...

[buddhafollower]

what s the name of the song at the beggining?

[Thesocraticbreed]

He does sound a lot like me when he talks about his past... I mean, I have a huge library of books and I love reading...especially philosophy.

[weidemaatje]

i love osho too

and i love books too

[swamiadheesh]

Edgar Cayce put books under his pillow , woke up knowing all information,

I have heard from a friend in India, Osho just put his hand on pages ,

palm stroking ,scanning over pages.

not every page just here and there.

Psychometry or tapping in to the akashic memmory ?

[ThePinkyjoe]

i love osho 

[dmrakacha]

i cant get enough of osho the guy is hillarious :D

[vlraikwar]

LOVE

[parth3791]

he reads 8 books in day

[warwize]

he read 150,000 books lol? doubt it.

If he finished 1 book a day it would take him 410years to get through them all.

4 books a day and it would still take him 102years...come on

[LegijaSrbin]

@warwize Guys, do you know how come Osho could read so many books? I have heard that he used some passive technique... Do you know something about that? If yes, could you tell me where i can find more about it?

IHIICOD 5 months ago

[oshopremparas]

@LegijaSrbin yes my frnd its so true osho read so many books. . but never word to word page to page. . its a kind of spirtual achievement which happens beyond phsical planes.

[rockatarlacha]

seek nothing to find everything,

want nothing to have everything,

think nothing to see truth.

[oleedee]

what book did he mention at the end?

[dobaryar]

@oleedee the brothers karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.

[vansin1982]

Osho< your finnally talking my language. Respect, and if you don't give it to me i'm gonna take it...

[garywhite67]

us or can

[TheDeathofGrace]

you cant ask for respect. it either there or not.

[jalancemara]

how he got to be so rich?

[xingwei12]

@jalancemara Do not seek riches ,Lil advice, Seek love and light ,seek knowledge ,.Learn from osho and his wisdom ,Do not seek for gain/

[Sith90lord]

tears of joy filled my eyes.

A wonderful soul...

[IHIICOD]

Guys, do you know how come Osho could read so many books? I have heard that he used some passive technique... Do you know something about that? If yes, could you tell me where i can find more about it?

[amongbeyo]

@IHIICOD Maybe photoreading and some quick reading?

[glrcmptn]

dad's books were the center of the house.

[olgamona]

Un poco incongruente el tipejo este,habla de respeto, acaso respetaba el las reglas de su padre,y leer 150.000 libros?mentiroso.

Para mi es un vago,que no quizo fué trabajar,y su Papito si tenia que darle la plata que exigia,Por que no respetaba la casa de su "padre y no la lleno de libros" que al final dice que son basura,Ay por Dios este tipo se le corrio el shampoo.

[PARAMITI]

There is No one Like Him :) i thought He was so old when He died..now i realize He died very young..it is not the same without Him..but at least His talks are recorded..His Teachings can be just as potent..He is not gone from us..only from the body ..

[jennally]

Brilliant

LoVe OsHo !!!!!!

[shifu956]

To me, Osho explains the Taoism even better than most of the Chinese philosophers or teachers. The quantity of the books he has read does not impress me that much. What really amazed me is the clarity of his understanding and interpretation of the books.

As I understand, he does not favor the spiritual or materialistic. It really does not matter. If you are rich, enjoy being rich. If you are poor, enjoy being poor.

[1atera3]

if there is no god .so

why we exist ?

who create us?

[1atera3]

what can i say !

ma sha2 alah 

[tybrady64]

150,000 Books and he read all of them?!? He lived to be 58 years old, but said he stopped reading 10 years ago and this was recorded 5 years before he died. Lets say he started reading at age 5. That would mean he read 10.8 books a day for his entire life. If each book averaged 200 pages and he read for 12 hours a day, that would be one page every twenty seconds. Not impossible, but doubtful. He'd have to read and absorb 100 times faster than he talks! that's for sure!

[raghavan24i]

@tybrady64 - i thought lot of times about numbers! - then it occured to me that when i was in 1st standard it took me year to finish my text book - now i can finish that book hardly in an hour. I dont need a year anymore.What happened ?? Over the years my ability to read & comprehend improved - so all this mathematics we throw speaks about us. I am not concened about the numbers he throws. His totality, freedom surprises me. Pherhaps when one does what he does totally some strange things happen!

[jagara1]

@tybrady64 Thanks for calculating this and pointing out the, very likely, lack of factual accuracy in his statement.

I also notice that while he is talking about material possessions not making your life blissful - he is wearing a rather shiny looking watch on his right hand.

[xXPinkGoddessXx]

@jagara1 He says that you shouldn't rely on material possessions for joy or well-being, not that you shouldn't have them at all. He's said asceticism is a load of nonsense.

[lsutigereortiz]

@tybrady64

Thanks for doing the math!!!

[picologupta]

His voice is so calm and honest .. love listening it

[AExodus7]

He didn't blink from around 12:50 to the end of the discussion. Irrelevant, but interesting how his body works.

[skdixit1]

Osho.....You changed my life...thank you....love you

[polyhydrant]

one cannot read 150000 books in a lifetime, its mathematically impossible, he has to read over 400 books a day.

[dangel6667]

legends say that the wisest man will have a beard as white as heaven and as long as should grow. OSHO whould be wiser if he were Athiest.

[Kakarot21591]

@dangel6667 He was.

[d3adam]

@dangel6667 What objection have you to make against his spirituality? As an atheist myself, I find him just as wise as I could imagine any of his 'followers' do.

He doesn't associate himself with one particular faith or philosophy - he believes in truth in the same sense as fate. Of course, these are primarily my interpretations.

[BTNH24]

@dangel6667

OSHO is Atheist. He says he is absolutely sure there is no God.

"I do not believe that God does not exist... I know for sure." - Osho

"Is it possible to live life without God? It is ONLY possible to live life without God." - Osho

"God simply is not there, so there is no question of Atheism or Theism." - Osho

"Either God can exist or freedom. Both cannot exist together." - Osho

[pournam]

@BTNH24

No, He was not Atheist. In those remarks he is arguing regarding the God of religions.

"Man has lived under this impression of God as a person, and then two calamities have happened through it. One is the so-called religious man, who thinks God is somewhere above in the sky and you have to praise him. to persuade him to confer favors on you, to help you to fulfill your desires, to make your ambitions succeed, to give you the wealth of this world AND of the other world. .....

[pournam]

@BTNH24

...... And this is sheer wastage of time and energy. And on the opposite pole the people who saw the stupidity of it all became atheists; they started denying the existence of God. They were right in a sense, but they were also wrong. They started denying not only the personality of God, they started to deny even the experience of God."

OSHO

[ElFatiha7]

@BTNH24

You are Wrong,Osho says I dont Believe in God,But I Know God Exist.

Osho – I was in a big city. Some young men came there to meet me. They started asking: “Do you believe in God?” I said: “No. What relation is there between belief and God? I know God.”

Osho: Truth is God.God is not a person. He is what He is. And the thought of believing in God has also created a lot of misunderstanding.

Belief is a supporter of ignorance and ignorance is a sin.

[tissetatten]

@ElFatiha7 no he has a video here on utube,, he flat out says god doesent exist

[Takiado]

he does state that god doesn't exist.. but what he means is that there is no deity in the form of a man.. there is no God.. but there is "Godliness"... meaning there is no living deity, but there is a way of the world in how it exists which makes it feel like there is Godliness to it.

[vibe7913]

@ElFatiha7 Dont think so much.... And we are all a part of this world and have the right to have our belivings in god, in human s and so on..... but act as your heart tell s your without hatring, go with knowles of a good heart and mind...

[sandwichboys]

i can say that he can read this books .... it's depend on the volume of the book

maybe 5 little books per day

maybe 1 books fro 2 days ..

He didnt sleep so much ..

[polyhydrant]

150000 books means reading one book per day will take over 400 years

[Shalashaska8636]

I agree with Osho. 'The Brothers Karamazov' is for me, a work of prophetic genius that bores deep into the ultimate essence of human nature. I consider Doestoevsky to be a prophet.

[bharatjdp27]

osho i love u.

[PlayerzAcademy]

@freaksurfer016 your pastor and priest does the exact same thing and most of you follow without doubt or question. Most of the garbage you have been fed comes from a book. The Bible!

[apache12345]

Dude, the number of books must be wrong, it's phisical imposible to read 150,000, a person can read 300 books in a year for example, so aprox. to read 1,000 it would take 30 years. So to read 10,000 it would take 30 years. So a person of 60 years old would read 20,000 books in all his life, and 30,000 books if he was 90 years old.

So what the fuck are we talking about !!!!. Aren´t they 15,000 books instead of 150,000 ?????

[freaksurfer016]

i didnt like this .. because he says that reading a thousand and something books have made him get his own truth from philosophers. so then hes just telling people his knowledge that hes learned from books written by simple normal philosophers.?? this killed everything man i thought he was genius

[adit123agrawal]

@freaksurfer016 He's just collected data from various books like upanishads.etc and has applied his own intellect and thus provided his own evolutionary interpretation.....

[massterra]

@freaksurfer016 He didn't say he got his truth from books, he said he read books for no other purpose than for enjoyment. His genius isn't his knowledge for knowledge is simply words and ideas regurgitated from others, passed down through the ages, refined further and passed down again. His genius is in his being awake, conscious of his center, of what he is and what he is not.

[ravzrebel]

good one

[buddhafollower]

5:10 just like society. forces people to explode

[temporanigra]

tell me how a man in only one life can read 150000 books.....

[tumhum1]

@temporanigra yup...he did ..and in one of his talks he even explained how he could read 10 hours non stop.

[IHIICOD]

@tumhum1  pls could you give me a link... I am very interested how he could read so much books in one day

[shailesh2k1in]

@IHIICOD It is probably in his book by a similar name.."Books I have loved".Check it out.

[minakshitiwari1]

If you got the reply of your 'How', What will you do then?I think you will search more 'How'.

[CrushJehovah]

Fucking funny.

[daddyrizla]

I have also devoted a great portion of my time to reading, but unlike Osho I have given many books away. I cannot honestly say how many books I have read but it is not in the hundreds of thousands, not even in the tens of thousands. Not even close, but it has been a pleasure to read every one.

[IHIICOD]

How is possible to read 150 000 books? He died 58 years old. That means that he could begin to read when he was 4, he stopped 10 years before death... That means about 44years for reading... So 44*365=16060 days... So that means 10books for a day? I dont want to seem suspicious, but you know... Any Ideas??????

[HIHIMIII56]

@IHIICOD : D ..hehe...maybe his reading was better than his counting : )

[Kapojos]

@IHIICOD

yes it is known that osho read about 15 books a day!

several of his disciples have confirmed this.

[L00kng]

@Kapojos @IHIICOD, @temporanigra

Ken Wilber used to read about 10 a day, but he also writes. Only so many hours in a day! LOL It must be possible. I'm glad to hear him speak so highly of Dostoy. 

[apache12345]

@Kapojos How can he read 15 books a day ??. I mean I would be pleased if you can explain how that's phisicaly possible...

[raghavan24i]

@IHIICOD i thought lot of times about numbers! - then it occured to me that when i was in 1st standard it took me year to finish my text book - now i can finish that book hardly in an hour. I dont need a year anymore.What happened ?? Over the years my ability to read & comprehend improved - so all this mathematics we throw speaks about us. I am not concened about the numbers he throws. His totality, freedom surprises me. Pherhaps when one does what he does totally

[Kapojos]

hegdhdhdhdfhhhfhdxtr

[niburu2012]

What does he name at 14:15?

[Kakarot21591]

@niburu2012 It's the novel The Brothers Karamazov, by the great Russian writer Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoevsky

[IranVatan1]

he is my new god. i love u osho

RIP

[Charliemim]

And not the floor nor the ceiling, nor walls, nor cases are plated with gold. I thought wisdom and truth needed to be plated in gold and made off limits to normal people. Was the Vatican full of it? What gives? ;)

[arux]

I think he lied, so rare. It is not possible to read 150 000 books. Maybe read from, but the whole book? If you live to be 75 years old that is only 27,375 days. For this a person would have to be reading nonstop from his birth until death at 75 years old, more than 5 books a day? (and this is assuming he was born reading from the first second he saw the light of the world)

[AnimeMangaKing]

hahaha

[lachanonim]

Onece hi said that he hadn'd learn anythig, but just know and act on instinct. WOW! How much he had to read before he came to the conclusion that he didn't learn anything!

[Eva0leine]

Thank you Taza!

Thank you Osho!

[TheHappySea]

This gives an idea of how much has been compressed into that man's brain!

[spirogrinder2]

yet he has no though!

[jeanclaudevanclumsy]

The Master of Masters!

[taza55]

just MAAARVELOUS

[Eva0leine]

Yes Taza is unforgettable.

We love him for ever!

[Kapojos]

he was a dangerous kid

[spirogrinder2]

tell me more?

[NZKocka]

I feel so calm when I listen to him

[inannarising1]

please keep the videos coming....i can't get enough of Osho....i love you, Osho. thanks.

[harshdeepmadan]

He rarely blinks his eyes.

[DIVINELIGHT112326]

Thank you for this share!! Love n Light!!

[asc3asc3asc]

He is right and knows what he is talking about.

If you ever want to do some serious reading, start with the great Russians. They cover the complete psychological and social spectrum of belles lettres style.

My sheer luck, and I speak from experience here, was that I first started reading Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy and once I had exhausted most of their work, I felt that reading any other fictional book would be a waste of time (saved me from reading tens of thousands of books like Osho).

[killintymm]

how come the great english writers and americans are no match? why do you think so ? im not arguing, im asking, is it because russians had a more complicated social structure?

[psycropticunt]

@killintymm

The Russians just ruled. Brothers Karamzov was perfect. I think it has to do with the way that the Russians explored ideas. There just weren't any writers elsewhere who were questioning the status quo in such a revolutionary way at the time. That being said im sure was plenty of bad writing coming out of Russian also it just happens to be forgotten amongst Tolstoy and Dostoevsky.

[alnaalnaalna]

the book he is efering to is - brothers karamazov- i think

[WOLFURDAL]

It is great to read books from intelligent people. What shall we do who have a vast intellect? We love input for our minds. If I do not read for a longer time I get upset.

[terabau]

could nyone plz tell me what books he said? realy cudnt grasp...

[heribert37]

osho...osho...u have changed my life.

Thank you

with respect

[andrasnm]

I am a publisher and author and this video is a true inspiration to me. I love OSHO and his mind.....a great Mahatma, he was.

[mrranamann]

do u know when he was born and when he was died and where he was born if u got these answers u will have no ?

[naldchow]

I am not sure if he has really read all the book from cover to cover. and if the proclamation that :"I am the most educated person in the world" is really without any ego. I really like his book on Laozi, though I'm a HK Chinese, i find his book more understandable than ancient chinese script. However, if he really attained the Tao, or enlightenment or found God many years ago, I don't why he would bother reading the views of so many dirived thought if he's found the Source. anyway,like hisbook

[DeaDMiinDz]

Because he acknowledges there is no such point and you can never stop changing and never stop to attempt to change yourself. He reads then as you can never have enough insight or knowledge

[mrranamann]

i dont think he ever mention he found god. He is talking about every thing and nothing he said in one part he found his truth (he does not say he found his truth after reading these books) but you can see its his knowledge he talks about. i dont know much about osho but i only know that he always speaks truth about humman. i dont beleive in god but stil i like this man very much because he had dare to speak the truth which can upset many people

[MangoBastard]

and i thought my 30,000 plus books was pretty good.....i 'm humbled by his ability to absorb and his achievement of personal truth.

[amaleboss]

well i really like this guy...but is it possible to read 150000 books? if we consider the life span of a person and lets say the he read 1 book per day.. 60(years) x 365= 21900(books with daily reading during 60 years..) he needs to be 400 years old dude...

[stankballz71]

or he could just have a much more fleet mind then u do.

[tedemac]

it's possible to read several books per day, especially as a child with no other responsibilities

[mrranamann]

if u know his knowledge and his persnality u wont do this calculation if u can read his 10 books that will give you all answers

[acronym44]

His talks have been published in over 800 books apparantly, at least many more than 10.

[zonesid]

he didn't say finished.. it might me 3-4 books a day.. or more..

hehe and you calculated all the 60 years.. don't think he was studying from the day since he was born :P

[prabhatps]

Maybe someday I'll have such an Impressive Collection of Books..!!! Love U Osho for Ur Books too...!!!

[hanihighest]

Children dont ask for respect because their parents teach them that it is earned. If u ask instead of stealing, u earned some respect for that.

[timewilltell7]

you must have had intelligent parents cos too many are dictatorial and talk down to children like they are fools

[Epsilone3]

Which book he's talking about at the end of the video ?

[mmonkeh]

The Brothers Karamazov by Dostojevski

[demirdinc]

The Brothers Karamazov - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

[MrDouglasfairbanks]

sleepy, you are getting sleepy!

[louiselvis]

we love osho! was a very big star!!!

[jammyjo610]

the question is not how many books you have read...but how well you have interpreted understood what you have read and joined the dots so to speak..

[TheFatStopsHere]

Well said, jammyjo610 - one can memorize a book without learning anything. It must become part of us.

[aniefig]

I dont know if he read all of the books, I think hes more of a collector. when i was young I loved the sight of books but I did not read them. Now that Im older I love to read, but the sight of them still captivates me.

[LouDiamondPhilips199]

I'll bet he doesnt have the book Johnny Depp was looking for in The Ninth Gate!..........well, maybe.

[GreenTVHost]

i have been to the library. it is extraordinary. it is well known he would plow through 3-4-5 books  a day. he would flip through the pages in speed reading as he had been reading since he was a little boy. if you want to learn more, get his book 'autobiography of a spiritually misunderstood mystic' classic read.

[jdugena]

really??? wow.

[atrickpay11]

Ah, this guy really loves freedom. I remember reading that he opposes all government, as governments are institutions where one group rules another.

[MUSICOBLISS]

so true !

[vjdrmo]

if he read one book a day it would take him more than 400 years to read all of them!

[Yadilove]

I would never think of something like this - to verify if what he says is true or not, but when I read your comment, I understood that he meant something else by "read": maybe he didn't read all of the pages, but enough for him to understand that book.

[MUSICOBLISS]

He has lived over 50 lives, so...its possible he has read all of the 150.000...:)

[hanihighest]

Ha ha ha ha. Was this a joke?

[mozaikue]

my God I'm jealous of you. I would want to have so many books. .. :))

[zorah2008]

This is the second video I have watched by this lovely man. Who is he. Leave a message on my page. Thanks.

[navpaltogether]

he is an enlightened man...his name is osho and u can say he was god...actually he is a spiritual teacher who teaches this world the spirituality...n how to turn your life from misery to miracle

[TheRealReasonForDP]

he is osho

[CloudshadowMan1]

He really read 150,000 books? His library must have been huge.

[scilonthreat]

think how much you read on the Internet. I guess in this day and age reading has been taken for granted lol.

How fast could he read?

O God , who was this man !? Will humanity see someone like him again?!

[prolynks]

i really dont think there is be another like him in this world. I presonally think in 200 to 300 years he will be amoung the enlightened men in the human kind like buddha, jesus, nanak...

[acronym44]

He is unbelievable. I don't think there ever was or will be someone like him. In the eighties he was very famous and notorious (many people were scares of him). He must be an incarnation of God (who paradoxicaly doesn't exist). Mind blowing.

[doomz77]

you got it acronym44.

[spirogrinder2]

u gotta learn the teachings man, we are all god. the only difference is osho was realised. when u can empty your mind and be stil you too will awaken

[ponnu1984]

@soheiljerusalem ...it would have been wonderful to see some1 like him again in action!

[sacredartsroe]

Love and Respect !!!!

[Akaliko]

As a child of his parents. I can imagine he drives his parents crazy :D

[PaulLightning]

Even if you read 10 books a day it would still take over 40 years to read 150,000.

[screenflicker1]

He was a speed reader and read 14-15 books a day.

[Invincible321]

150,000 books... He's read all of them? To read that in, say, 50 years that's over 8 books a day! Eh... He probably meant he's just read the covers only.

[suparni]

I dunno, I worked in his personal library taking care of those books for several months back in the late 90s. I was pretty amazed (and very much enjoyed) seeing that so many of them had dots next to key segments... he highlighted them with dots. There were a lot of dots in that collection.

[henjokongo]

Read, read and read. Study, study and study. Until, you don't need to study anymore. Very, very refreshing answer to the latent Zen, anti-conceptualism which still floats in my mind at least.

[loveprince777]

thank you again and again and again

[takezo1977]

impressive... and i love his way of explaining :)

PEACE

[rybiju]

He is one of the most intelligent persons in 2o th century. It will take generations to find such a soul full with original thinking and interpretations of all knowledge, in the world today be it science, religion, philosophy or any politics, psychology, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Bible. You name any he will have authentic opinion of anything under the sun.He tells the Truth and Truth is bitter
