About this series · summary by Osho Live
"Nirvan Upanishad," a discourse series by Osho, delves into the profound inquiry of what constitutes true wealth. Rooted in ancient Upanishadic wisdom, Osho challenges the conventional understanding of wealth, emphasizing that material possessions, often seen as symbols of prosperity, are ephemeral and can easily be taken away. He underscores that genuine wealth is something that remains with us beyond the touch of death, untouched by external forces. Through the exploration of stories such as that of Yajnavalkya and his wives, Osho illuminates the quest for real treasure that lies in the discovery of our inner self. True wealth is identified as qualities and virtues that are eternal—such as Brahmacharya, which Osho presents not merely as celibacy or control over sexual urges but as living with the consciousness that the divine is within us. This reframing presents Brahmacharya as a vast, transformational concept, encapsulating a way of life in harmony with our highest self. Osho masterfully reinterprets traditional concepts, urging seekers to transcend superficial understandings and embark on a journey towards the ultimate truth—discovering the wealth of spiritual enlightenment within.
