Freedom, The courage to Be Yourself

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Religion & Spirituality
Author:Osho
The PERFECT one !!!

I really miss Kinokuriya 'cos I finished all the books I bought from it. Hummmm, Now I'm heading back to AC again :P
But I'll try to buy some more Osho that I found in Innwa, sooner ;)

Ok, here are some words I really love from this book . . . actually I like da whole book very very much ;)

"Freedom from something is not true freedom. The freedom to do anything you want to do is also not the freedom I am talking about. My vision of freedom is to be yourself"

"God, fate, destiny_they are all in the same category: throwing your responsibility onto something that does not exist."

"Love is just like the fragrance of a flower. It does not creat a relationship, it does not ask you to be a certain way, to act in a certain way. It demands nothing. It simply shares"

"Let your love be your state of being. Not that you fall in love, but just that you are loving. It is simply your nature."

"I am not against fighting for freedom for your nation, but don't give it a priority. The priority should be for your spiritual freedom, which cannot be taken away by anybody else."

"What exactly is the innermost substance of freedom?_that you are free from the past, that you are free from the future."

Ok, If you wanna read, I'm ready to share my book :P :P
