Songs of Kabir

By: Osho

Narrated by: Osho

Length: 15 hrs and 15 mins

Publisher's summary

Ecstasy: The Forgotten Language invites us to rediscover our natural state of ecstasy. We have lost touch with our intrinsic nature, says Osho, because we no longer live existential lives; we put our whole focus on our private lives. We have lost contact with the real and live almost entirely in our minds, in our imaginations. This makes us dull and unhappy and unavailable for what life is really offering us.

Society and civilizations originally evolved to support and protect us, but now the situation has reversed and instead we find ourselves existing to sustain them. One outcome of this reversal is that society supports misery rather than our natural ecstasy because an ecstatic person is a rebellious individual who cannot be enslaved by any ideology or structure.

The words of Kabir - a mystic, a weaver, and a poet who can touch the earth and catch the stars with his transcendent verses - are the starting point for these inspiring talks on how to live our lives to their utmost potential.

“Religiousness is the science of how to find the forgotten language of ecstasy. Whenever you are in tune with existence, there is ecstasy, there is bliss, there is benediction.” (Osho)

Another Osho Talk

Osho talks so the listener can be silent. All his talks are really a device to give one a taste of meditation. It doesn't matter if Osho is explaining a sutra or responding to a question. Osho is utterly here and now and he speaks to bring you into the present.

There is a line from this series of talks that stays with me. He says, "the Truth cannot be said, but it can be whistled." And everyday Osho goes on whistling a different tune, but the same song, in hopes that you will hear it.

If you hear it, you can listen endlessly. You are listening to Osho; you are listening to yourself; you are listening to the song of Existence itself - the song of that eternal silence, pulsating timelessly in the Here & Now. This is meditation. Another Osho talk.

Thank you Master

Sometimes I think I wish I would go back in time and sit there and listen to him, but then I realize how this moment is beautiful .
it’s a great thing that we have so many audiobooks from his talks. we actually might be able to listen to him more than many of those who sat with him back then.

Right on time

Osho never fails and is always speaking to me in sync with my experience. Highly recommend
