Commentary Concering Books Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other (Osho Insights for a new way of living )
"Hit-and-run" relationships have become common in our society as it has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. But at the same time, there arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is missing-a quality of intimacy. This quality has very little to do with the physical, though sex is certainly one possible door. Far more important is a willingness to expose our deepest feelings and vulnerabilities, with the trust that the other person will treat them with care. Ultimately, the willingness to take the risk of intimacy has to be grounded in an inner strength that knows that even if the other remains closed, even if that trust is betrayed, we will not suffer any permanent damage. In this gentle and compassionate guide, Osho takes his readers step-by-step through what makes people afraid of intimacy, how to encounter those fears and go beyond them, and what they can do to nourish themselves and their relationships to support more openness and trust. OSHO challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people-along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha-who have changed the destiny of India. More than a decade after his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.Define Books During Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other (Osho Insights for a new way of living )

Would be a nice advice if we lived in ideal world where my children would get zero chance of falling under bad influence of TV, friends raised up by video games etc. Osho is just one of those sellers who is selling his vision, which can be wrong or right.some words to live by:"no relationship can be secure. it is not the nature of relationships to be secure, it will lose all its attraction. so this is a problem of the mind. if you want to enjoy a relationship, it has to be insecure. if you make it completely secure, absolutely secure, then you cannot enjoy it - it loses all charm, all attraction. the mind cannot be satisfied either with this or with that, so it is always in conflict and chaos. it wants a relationship that is alive and secure,

Well, I am not much moved here. This was a decent read, not much adjective, not much noun. Spoken mainly in verb. Certain points of Osho make absolute sense - they are truly words of a sage. But certain other sections, specially talks on the structure of society and daily movement of an insipid life didn't cut deeply into me. However, the central theme is recurrent. And that is you have to drop your fear, your inhibitions, your ego to love someone deeply, so deeply that the lover and the beloved
this is my second read from Osho after "Freedom". loads of words, full of wisdom for sure. the reason i liked it might be the timing. It just came at the right time, when I needed to hear some of the words the most. yes, there are lots of repeating sentences or ideas but from spiritual perspective, you need it I think. great insights on "seeking", "being ready to become ordinary", "dropping ideals", "being weak vs being strong".
Osho as usual is a person who always gives you the truth in your face!
"So become happier. Use the time that you have--and there is no need to think about the future; the present is enough. Use this moment not in worrying but in living. Small things can become so beautiful. A little caring, a little sharing, that's all life is." This is the first work of Osho's I've read, but I know it won't be the last. I can see people assuming this book is all about how to relate to others, but really it's about how to learn to love and recognize yourself, because doing that
