"Above All Don't Wobble" is a profound exploration of inner balance and authenticity, as articulated by Osho. Throughout this discourse series, Osho delves into the intricate dance between the mind and consciousness, urging individuals to transcend the habitual oscillations of doubt and fear that destabilize the spirit. His teachings emphasize the importance of unwavering centeredness and the courage to stand resilient against the chaos of the external world. Osho challenges traditional paradigms of spirituality by encouraging a direct, honest engagement with the self, free from societal pretenses. He postulates that true liberation arises from embracing one's inner stillness, a place where the mind is no longer swayed by life's transient troubles. The series navigates through topics of meditation, self-awareness, and acceptance, guiding listeners to cultivate a state of non-attachment and freedom. Osho's distinctive approach combines incisive wit with profound wisdom, offering a transformative pathway to enduring peace and clarity amidst the tumult of modern existence.

  1. 1
    Above All Don't Wobble #1 16 January 1976

    Accept and allow each moment without forcing; 'above all, don't wobble.' Cooperate with love, watch moods without judgment, and trust grace.

  2. 2
    Above All Don't Wobble #2 17 January 1976

    A synthesis of East and West: unite meditation and love; cultivate trust as divine, practice opening by relaxing into womb-like closure then allowing flowering.

  3. 3
    Above All Don't Wobble #3 18 January 1976

    Facing death in meditation dissolves the ego — relax and welcome the letting‑go. Be real with tears, food and love; authenticity transforms relationships.

  4. 4
    Above All Don't Wobble #4 19 January 1976

    Be sometimes unavailable to prevent the mind's triviality; allow fear without naming it—it uncovers an untouched center beyond death; first discipline, then true freedom.

  5. 5
    Above All Don't Wobble #5 20 January 1976

    Remain centred by not fighting going astray: accept, float, surrender to insecurity and life’s rhythm; non-effort and openness make centring a natural consequence.

  6. 6
    Above All Don't Wobble #6 21 January 1976

    Homesick yearning explained: mind's polarities bring peaks and abysses; embrace risk, witness both without identification, and learn homelessness as freedom.

  7. 7
    Above All Don't Wobble #7 22 January 1976

    Become a spring of love: life is goal-less, live here-and-now, surrender mind's goals, be totally present, risk depth in relationships and trust the process.

  8. 8
    Above All Don't Wobble #8 23 January 1976

    Drop control, become a loving family in group work; allow wild energy, pass through nightmare to become fully alive and then a detached witness.

  9. 9
    Above All Don't Wobble #9 24 January 1976

    Commitment ends wavering: love is an unfinished, living process—move from casual contact to overlapping beings; surrender, patience and work let love deepen.

  10. 10
    Above All Don't Wobble #10 25 January 1976

    Use clarity and witness consciousness to transform suffering into growth: accept pain, watch it without suppression, and make group insights your personal practice.

  11. 11
    Above All Don't Wobble #11 26 January 1976

    Repressed sadness surfacing in meditation must be accepted: pass the dark night to reach authentic bliss; use movement, humming and love to transform and heal.

  12. 12
    Above All Don't Wobble #12 27 January 1976

    Move beyond the mind's spectator role into full-bodied participation: dance, breathe, feel. Let the heart lead; release anger safely, chew, and be present.

  13. 13
    Above All Don't Wobble #13 28 January 1976

    Become childlike again through meditation; use surplus energy creatively; groups are loving, non-therapeutic families with facilitators who guide, then withdraw.

  14. 14
    Above All Don't Wobble #14 29 January 1976

    Accept disturbances as openings to deeper silence; remember everything is a dream; let anger turn to pain to transform you—handling noises, dreams, overeating?

  15. 15
    Above All Don't Wobble #15 30 January 1976

    Turning inward dissolves false love and creativity; persist through the tense seventh-day breakthrough — renunciation is a passage to overflowing, spontaneous true love.

  16. 16
    Above All Don't Wobble #16 31 January 1976

    Remember your eternal nature; true change is a total, risky leap into unattachment and bliss beyond clinging—use glimpses and timing wisely.

  17. 17
    Above All Don't Wobble #17 1 February 1976

    Will vs surrender: Gurdjieff's hard crystallisation suits will‑types; Zen's passive surrender suits feminine types — know your type to find yourself.

  18. 18
    Above All Don't Wobble #18 2 February 1976

    Remain open to surprise; authenticity in group lets truth flow—drop social masks, accept absurdity and laughter, even a respectful hit, to touch the unknown.

  19. 19
    Above All Don't Wobble #19 3 February 1976

    Drop guilt and ego that poisons love; accept past events as unavoidable, stay with anger or fear until it passes, and take responsibility for your inner state.

  20. 20
    Above All Don't Wobble #20 4 February 1976

    Dispossess the ego: surrender so the group's soul can arise; welcome fear as the door beyond mind, risk bravely, die to fear and be reborn into life.

  21. 21
    Above All Don't Wobble #21 5 February 1976

    Painter's intuition: religion is the greatest art—become a medium, trust spontaneous prayer and hunches, meditate, and accept sadness, anger and tears.

  22. 22
    Above All Don't Wobble #22 6 February 1976

    Stay present; let intense longing become deathless bliss, express buried anger instead of repressing it, prefer feeling to analysis and live in freedom.

  23. 23
    Above All Don't Wobble #23 7 February 1976

    Go into a compulsion until it exhausts itself; overeating dissolves the hunger's root and loneliness can be transformed into aloneness by simple wall-facing meditation.

  24. 24
    Above All Don't Wobble #24 8 February 1976

    Love and growth: abandon drugs and techniques; move beyond transient experiences to silent being —music and gentle pregnancy support; honest relating.

  25. 25
    Above All Don't Wobble #25 9 February 1976

    Freedom versus commitment: choose separation or mutual compromise to avoid destructive patterns; resist not—surrender, flow with others and dissolve ego.

  26. 26
    Above All Don't Wobble #26 10 February 1976

    Love is patient receptivity - surrender, wait with gratitude; choose spontaneous, prayerful union over techniques; allow energies to move, don't rush decisions.

  27. 27
    Above All Don't Wobble #27 11 February 1976

    Adopt homelessness and non-attachment to taste homeless bliss; take a new name, accept fear in meditation and use life’s energies rather than clinging to them.

  28. 28
    Above All Don't Wobble #28 12 February 1976

    Become the path for the divine; relationships mirror your being, discipline deepens true freedom, drop fear to know bliss—live with awareness and love.
