FLIGHT OF THE ALONE TO THE ALONE - Talks on the Kaivalya Upanishad

Upanishad is the key that opens the door to the divine.


The Kaivalya Upanishad is a search for the ultimate freedom, moksha.The Upanishad begins with a prayer. The sage of the Upanishad is praying for his sense organs to be nourished and strengthened and make them powerful so that he can experience what he cannot perceive when his senses are weak...He does not believe that the sense organs and the divine are opposed to one another. The sage says:

Brahman is the nucleus of all worldly activities in the waking, the dream and the sleep states.

The sage is saying that whatsoever you have done in your waking state, whatsoever you think yourself to be, you are not that. Then he also says that you are not what you have done in your dreams.

I am the brahman., the Upanishad says.

According to Osho everybody is ready to accept that he is the divine, but nobody is ready to accept that the other is the divine.This also means that the thief, the man who is blinded by lust, the greedy person who is sitting on a pile of money like a snake - all this worldly activity arises from the brahman.The Upanishad says something even more amazing.’I am this brahman’. So I am the one who is stealing through the thief, I am the greed in the greedy person and the lust, in the lecher’.. This is the realization of a true, religious consciousness.

This book is the transcribed version of Osho’s talks on Kaivalya Upanishad.
According to him, Upanishad is the key that opens the door to the divine. Osho goes through various topics like sin and virtue; renunciation , sanyas and power; knowledge, ignorance and ego; trust, love and witnessing; yoga and meditation during the course of his talks on ‘kaivalya Upanishad.’ Some of Osho’s interesting observations found in this book are :

A sad man wants to see the whole world sad ,because that is what makes him happy.

You have a great interest in saying that others are wrong. You have a great interest in proving that others have made a mistake.

We have five senses, so we think that creation has stopped at five senses. Those who have four senses, for them, the creation comes to a stop with those four senses, those who have three think that creation is complete with three.

Stupidity, unintelligence, in itself, has an irrepressible courage. Hesitation enters with understanding and intelligence.
