About this series · summary by Osho Live
"Bhaj Govindam" is a profound exploration of the nuanced dynamics inherent in human attachment and renunciation. In this discourse series, Osho delves into the teachings of Shankar, revealing the subtle pitfalls of swinging from one extreme to another—be it from indulgence to asceticism or attachment to renunciation. Osho emphasizes that true spiritual growth arises not from the renunciation of worldly attachments for the sake of it, but from a genuine understanding of their futility. He warns against the common tendency to replace one form of attachment with another, merely cloaked in the guise of renunciation. Instead, he advocates for a dissolution of attachment that naturally unfolds into a state of freedom, without forcibly adopting a renunciatory stance. Through his eloquent interpretation, Osho invites seekers to transcend the duality of attachment and renunciation, illustrating that real spiritual liberation is found in a balanced state of awareness and acceptance. This series is an invitation to look beyond surface-level understanding and explore the deeper essence of non-attachment, where renunciation is a spontaneous by-product of inner clarity and contentment.
