Love Thy Neighbor

And Other Fundamental Misunderstandings of So-Called Religious Teachings

De: Osho

Narrado por: Osho

In this talk, Osho answers questions about caring, compassion and service to the community. He also speaks about self-acceptance and awareness as transformative tools. He then addresses the Christian dilemma teaching us to love our neighbor, while completely forgetting about the second part of the teaching of Jesus, to “Love thy neighbor as thyself”. While Christians are taught to condemn themselves, and to feel guilty about themselves for their very natures, Osho teaches a special from of self-love only attainable when you “unself yourself”. In self-love the self disappears, and only love remains. And out this understanding and experience comes a great celebration, and miraculously people are served, compassion radiates, caring is born.

Love, the self and being are explored.

This Osho talk starts out with loving your neighbor. Osho specifically points out that a person who does not love themselves cannot love others. How can they have love to give when they feel so low with themselves? It directly affects their energy and when a person loves themselves deeply they will become radiant and others around them will sense that energy. Once one is filled with love they become a being of love. Osho spoke about being and our selves. Relationships are all about individuality and one thing Osho brought up was setting boundaries. How one has to say enough is enough when they are dealing with a person that is causing harm. Embrace your individuality with dignity.
