Ecstasy the Forgotten Language: Songs of Kabir
About this audiobook
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)

Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today. His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. ( Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)
About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as " Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.
Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.
