About this series · summary by Osho Live
The "Ishavashya Upanishad" discourse series by Osho delves into the profound depths of life, death, and enlightenment, inviting seekers to explore the transcendental journey beyond duality. Osho challenges traditional interpretations of the Upanishadic sutras, offering a refreshing and radical vision that aligns more with the inner realization of Samadhi rather than the literal moment of death. He invites listeners to perceive death not as a terminal event but as a transformative passage akin to Samadhi—a sublime state of consciousness where individual identity dissolves into the universal essence. Through a tapestry of spiritual insights, Osho emphasizes the essence of remembering one's deeds not as a mere ritual at the time of death, but as an ongoing practice of mindfulness leading to spiritual awakening. This series illuminates the profound mystery of existence, underscoring the importance of living with awareness and dying without fear. The dialogues serve as a gateway for becoming one with the eternal, obliterating the boundaries between the self and the cosmos, and embracing a life that is a continuous remembrance of one's divine nature.
