Advanced, in-depth, profound Mahamudra commentary
By Neal J. Pollock
This is a profound commentary on Tilopa's marvelous song though the author states p. 10: "It is not Tilopa's Song, it is the song of the ultimate experience itself." This book is full of wisdom-great teaching vs. small teaching-the heart of Mahamudra (MM) in which opposites/polarities disappear: p. 204: "This is what Zen people call attaining the original face." p. 7: "The experience of the ultimate is not an experience at all-because the experiencer is lost...Knowledge is there, but the knower is not," p. 18: Mahamudra is an experience of nothingness...to attain nothingness is to attain all," & p. 22: "In love you are not, the other is also not." The metaphor of a hollow bamboo for person in Mahamudra: p. 89: "Like a hollow bamboo rest at ease with your body." --Tilopa. "Once you are empty then there is no barrier for the divine to enter in you." p. 231: "The whole remains the creator-you become simply vehicles, mediums for the whole. A hollow bamboo...becomes a flute." Tilopa was addressing Naropa, his highly developed disciple, and p. 182: "When you talk to a very developed disciple, you can bring the highest down. When you talk to the masses you have to make compromises." Thus, this is a very advanced book. Yet Bhagavan Shree Rajneesh speaks simply, down-to-earth, with feeling & experience. It's my first & only Rajneesh book. He directly implies that it is far more profound than his prior, yoga-oriented books, for MM is a great teaching. Thus, MM is the royal/kingly way/"Pathless Path" inconsistent with polarities, doubt, good/evil, established religion, morality, & warrior-like yoga. p. 25: "A moral man is never natural, cannot be. When one is aware, anger by and by disappears." p. 117: "The truth, once known, is beyond all scriptures...the scriptures are nothing but fingers pointing to the moon." p. 143: A great teaching doesn't give you any commandment. It is not concerned with what you do, it is concerned with what you are." The author cites p. 66: P. D. Ouspensky's "imaginazione," the disease of imagination-expecting metaphor to be factual, stating: p. 150: "That is the meaning of Hell: all the religions have used it as a shock treatment. Hell is nowhere, nor is there any heaven. Both are tricks, old psychotherapeutic concepts...this is just a trick to prevent bad habits. And heaven is a trick to help good habits." p. 205: "This is a beautiful game: I know myself through you, you know yourself through me, and we both don't know who we are." p. 220: The society has to be followed and transcended, the rules have to be learned and unlearned. Rules come in your life because there are others...the rules come with relationship." p. 225: "A man of real understanding is neither good nor bad, he understands both. And in that understanding he transcends both."
MM is experiential not intellectual: pp. 15-16: "Only that which happens to you is true. Only that which flowers in you is true. Only that which grows in you is true and alive. Remember it always: avoid borrowed knowledge." Thus, the nature of thoughts is revealed: p. 35: "You are the host and thoughts are the guests," p. 35: "A thing is a thought, a thought is a thing," and p. 87-8: "watch your thoughts ...watching must be passive, not active...There is no eagerness, no urgency, no emergency...Be a passive watcher." Furthermore, he emphasizes spontaneous, natural action vs. past-based, habitual activity: p. 151-2: "Response is alive to the situation, reaction is just an ingrained habit...Reaction is ugly, response is beautiful. Reaction is partial/thinking; response is natural/whole being...If your life becomes a life of response and spontaneity, you will become some day a Buddha. Habit kills life. Habit is against life...you are following a dead discipline." And p. 229: "People who are too occupied in activities are afraid of themselves. Activity is a sort of escape; they can forget themselves in it. It is alcoholic, it is an intoxicant. Activity has to be dropped, action is beautiful. What is action? Action is a response: when it is needed you act; when it is not needed you relax...Talking can be either activity or action...Until the sentence is uttered even I am not aware what it is going to be. Not only are you the listener; I am also a listener here." He also describes masters & meditation as means to the ends of MM: p. 139-140: "A master is nothing but a personified phenomenon of the total bliss...a master is not a teacher...a master is a presence...A master is found through feeling. A teacher is found though thinking." p. 190-1: "A master is to help you unlearn...meditation is a witnessing, not a technique; meditation is an understanding awareness...Techniques are just to bridge the gap." The author effectively uses many teaching stories such as the Mulla Nasrudin (made famous by Idries Shah), drawing from many religious traditions, and refutes intolerance, citing the temporary insanity defense (p. 62)-since sentient beings are essentially unconscious. My only criticism is his not referencing Kabbalah parallels (devekut, yichud, ein sof) to many of his statements-rather he says p. 22: "You can't translate Buddhist understanding into Jewish terminology" referring to Jesus. Further, he says that one can't eat meat with self-remembering; though p. 210: Tilopa says: "Mahamudra is beyond all acceptance and rejection." So, there's a slight cultural bias-though much less than the vast majority of religious books. Overall, this is a fabulous work, well worth your trouble in obtaining a copy. Expect to have your eyes open or be opened.

Forget the Man and Listen to the Words
By Tanya Priest
I had a really hard time even starting this book since I know all the controversy surrounding "Osho". I grew up in Oregon and remember my mom wouldn't take us to any salad bars for a really long time because of what happened here. However, I was assigned this book for my Yoga School and once I started reading I couldn't put it down. I absolutely loved it and connected with it on so many levels. After reading it I started "surfing" and watched many of the talks that Osho has done. He really knows how to explain complex spiritual thoughts in a modern and understandable way.
I would recommend this book to any "Seeker".

An exceptional perspective on a misunderstood subject
By Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate
I think this is a deep and insightful look into the underlying ideas of Tantra. Essentially, Osho is holding your hand and attempting to help the reader (actually this is a transcript of a series of talks) to step into the experience of living. If you are looking for a guide to mystical sexual practices, then you should look elsewhere - this is all about the road to enlightenment through the full acceptance of all that is.
