About this series · summary by Osho Live
"Shiv Sutra" captures Osho's profound insights into the nature of self and the transformative potential of spiritual practice. In this series, Osho explores the metaphor of a diamond to convey the eternal, unchanging essence within each individual, buried under layers of personality and life experiences, much like an onion. This essence is the true self, a core untouched by time or circumstance, but often obscured by the 'mud' of transient worldly existence. Osho introduces the concept of mantra as a powerful tool for spiritual excavation, a method to peel away these layers and reveal the true, resplendent nature of one's being. The discourse suggests that recognizing one's inner diamond requires introspection and the courage to dismantle acquired identities. Through anecdotes, such as the humorous tale of Mulla Nasruddin, Osho emphasizes the illusory nature of external appearances and societal judgments, contrasting them with the unassailable truth of the inner self. The series invites listeners to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation, highlighting Osho's distinctive approach to spirituality—one that is irreverent yet deeply insightful, urging individuals to embrace the unchanging reality of their own existence amidst life's perpetual changes.
