< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 1 1 January 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [An ashram press office representative asks: Osho, what is your message to humanity on this new year’s day?] My message is simple. My message is a new man, homo novus. The old concept of man was of either/or; materialist or spiritualist, moral or immoral, sinner or saint. It was based on division, split. It created a schizophrenic humanity....

Forget your head completely. Become headless, as if the head is no more there. Function from the heart. Never do anything unless it is your feeling to do it; never do anything only because you think it is right....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 11 11 January 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Prem means love. Love is god – that is the meaning of [prem theo], and that is the whole meaning of religion. The moment that religion becomes a law it is no more religion. It has fallen; it is no more part of the world of light, it has already become part of darkness....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 12 12 January 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [Prem Udgita – love song] Love is a song, the song of the heart, the song of your very innermost core; and unless love is born one is not born.

< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 13 13 January 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [Osho gives sannyas to a ten-year-old.] Gitika means a small song. If life can become just a small song, that is more than enough. That is enough to satisfy all the longing of the heart, that’s enough to fulfil one’s being. But rarely a person’s life becomes a song. People turn it into a calculation, it becomes more arithmetic than poetry....

If you can make it a point to meditate every day for at least one hour you will not miss me at all. For that one hour you will be here, because meditation is my taste my atmosphere. And whenever, wherever, you meditate, you are close to me....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 15 15 January 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine, aviram means continuity, continuum, flow. Life is a divine continuum, it has no beginning and no end. It is forever and forever; it has always been there and will always be there. Birth and death are only episodes in it; it doesn’t start with birth, it doesn’t end with death. To know it is to know god....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 16 16 January 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium [Prem Shozo – love and to rise high.] Prem means love; and love is the way to rise high. It is the only natural psychedelic that takes you high. Love is the ladder to god. Those who try without love are always bound to fail; it is only through love and as love that one arrives....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 17 17 January 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Anand Ali... blissful god. The old god was very serious, hence the world has remained ill, sick. It is good that the old god is dead. But the new has not yet arrived, hence the crisis in all human values, hence the crisis of identity loss. The old is no more valid, in fact it has long been dead....
< Previous | Contents | Next > CHAPTER 18 18 January 1979 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium Deva means divine, udgam means the source. We are already at the source, we are the source. We have never left it, not even for a single moment, yet we have forgotten about it. We have fallen asleep: we have not gone anywhere. God has not been lost, only forgotten; it is a kind of forgetfulness....
