Book Description

About The Book

The new man will not worship God in the form of creator but he will create God in the form of truth, love, beauty and fragrance. Man has so much power within, that he can create divinity.

Those who have the spark of revolt within should separate themselves from the rest of the humanity to begin a new world. They should go through a deep transformation and convert themselves into pure love. In this state of love they will find the freedom to grow. In this freedom and space they should help and cooperate in each other's growth. They should become contagious in spreading their spark to the rest of the world.

Man is unaware of his strength and possibilities. This unawareness is the root cause of all the perversions in the society. The solution of all these problems is not suppression but transformation. Osho's concept of the new man is one of a transformed man. This man does not belong to any religion. With him a new man, a new world, a new century will emerge.

Foreword

Many problems of Philosophy are of such broad relevance to human concerns and such complex is their ramifications, that they are in one form or another perennially present. Though in course of time they yield in part to philosophical inquiry, they may need to be rethought by each age in the light of its broader scientific knowledge and deepened ethical and religious experience. Better solutions are found by more refined rigorous methods. Thus, one who approaches the study of philosophy in hope of understanding the best of what it affords will look for both fundamental issues and contemporary achievements.

This book written by Dr. Vinita Nair aims to exhibit some of the main problems in the field of Philosophy of Religion as interpreted and explained by Osho. While Osho's philosophical insight brings to bear a new perspective on the issues relating to meaning of life and social constructions, he also seems to have influenced the psychological constructions by hitting the prejudiced minds. He analyses moral values and ethical ideas closely along religious lines. Though Osho is a critique of the established religions in the world, he accepts the intuitive truth which is one and eternal. His major thrust was on intuitive grasping of values by direct and immediate knowledge.

Dr. Vinita Nair, a scholar of philosophy and religion has attempted a comprehensive exposition of the ethical ideas developed by Osho against the background of set belief systems in the societies. For Osho the domain of religion is autonomous and independent of the cognising consciousness; religiousness, and values are ideals and are not quite like spatio temporal objects. Again the grasping of religiousness takes place through intuition rather than intellect or reason.
