OSHO: Books I Have Loved

"To me a book is not just a book; it is a love affair...
I have loved reading from my very childhood. My own personal library consisted of one hundred fifty thousand rare books of all the religions, philosophies, poetry, literature. And I have read all of them, but with no purpose; I enjoyed it."
The OSHO Library is maintained by Osho International Foundation.
With the exception of about 1O,OOO, which have been gathered on his request after he stopped reading, all of these books have been read, signed and dated by Osho.
Osho's personal library is now housed in a building named "Lao Tzu House" at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, India. The library holds more than 150,000 volumes, mostly in the humanities, including history, psychology, religion and philosophy. It also features a quite substantial collection of the classic literature of East and West, along with an impressive array of biographies, books on physics and earth sciences, etc. The library has been created with aesthetic considerations in mind, the object being to create a light and airy feeling rather than the "heavy" and
"serious" look of so many libraries. Books are sorted according to size and color, and placed on the shelves in an arrangement that suggests ocean waves. The effect is organic and natural, with no solid blocks of color or size to grab the eye and weigh it down. Osho himself was an avid book collector and reader throughout most of his life, and the library includes volumes that he has kept in pristine condition since his childhood. He liked to underline his books, and to create an individualized painting on the front pages, often including his signature, in place of a printed book
plate. Part of his work was to give daily extemporaneous talks, which he would sometimes punctuate with quotes and passages from books he had read. The library was catalogued by hand for many years, with cross-references that included not only title, author and subject matter, but such things as the cover color, number of pages and trim size. In that way, if Osho wanted to see that "big book on Einstein's theory of relativity with the blue cover, " the librarian could locate the needle in the haystack with relative ease. In 1987, a three-year project was initiated to computerize the card catalog.
The UK library journal LOGOS has published an extensive article about the library written by: Pierre Evald, Department of Library & Information Management Royal School of Library and Information Science Langagervej 4 - DK- 220 Aalborg Ø Room: 418 T: + 45 98 15 79 22 + 45 98 15 79 22, E-mail: [e-mail]

There must be a misunderstanding: his statement of reading all the books must have been related to "reading completely or partially" all these books. This is naiv to deify his abilities (I mean the hypotheses of photoreading, reading with his subconscious mind etc. which are stated in comments below). Let's be realistic and awaken. He's just a human after all. A very wise and great human! I'm sure he would have liked my being sceptical as he was a great sceptic himself :)

If Osho was alive now, then he would have been the brand ambassador of the electronic device called " KINDLE " 🔥

[@montag4516]

In the real world kindle refers to pieces of wood used to first start a fire, sometimes for bonfire purposes. "KINDLE" is a mega--corp creation which replaces real, tangible books and printed works for bits, bytes and pixels on a digital screen Maybe such files will be edited or flat out deleted by the controllers in charge (perpetually rewriting history). "KINDLE" is a thinly disguised term suggestive towards book burning. "You will own nothing and you will be happy" Klaus Schwab/World Economic Forum There are reasons why books such as 1984, Farenheit 451, and Brave New World are such important, rellevent works.

Hard to argue against brothers K, einsteins favorite as well. Ive never read anyone that really comes close to dostoevsky, the depth of the three brothers and how they showcase love, doubt, worldliness. Crime and punishment and the idiot are great as well.

The Master of Masters!

[@jeffreyturnbull4992]

While I appreciate your joyous loving willingness to kiss your master's ass on an online venue in which many other sannyasins can read and agree and warmly coo and google and giggle and cuddle in response...and though I agree that his incarnation of sharing during the 29th century is profound, amazing, elucidating, etc.... I must also admit that I am struck that the verbal adulation offered him by sannyasins has an ego smell about it; that is, it seems to me that a bona fide lover of universal liberating Truth/Wisdom/Reality will look farther and deeper than the external name/form/personality of any individual. While I see one reason for saying things like "Osho is a Master's Master" as a way of thereby encouraging others to begin dipping into the wisdom shared through Osho's recorded materials... ...yet I am also picking up an incongruous scent/vibe of hyperbolic inauthenticity too thickly spread...which induces me to ask myself what might be another reason behind this inauthentic behavior...? ...and the response that comes to me is this: As we are well aware, there were glaring shortcomings, inconsistencies, egocentricities, etc., that arose and manifested in the empire/reign of Osho. When sannyasins gush that he was "a Master's Master," or the "Cream of the Supreme," etc., etc., none appear to be sufficiently intellectually and truth-lovingly honest to then ask: what specific basis have you for making such a statement? Rather, everyone just lets these hyperbolic statements flow and fly...without offering our collective evolving human consciousness the lovingly precise and beneficial gift of honestly introducing into the dialogue the fact that there was also a lot of terribly skewed, unfortunate shit that went down in that milieu. Certainly much of the bullshit manifested due to the great number of unevolved, stupid, greedy, dishonest, jealous humanoids imposing their denseness upon the whole scene. YET...by their/our fruits (results) we are known. Are there any among you who acknowledge that you provide a greater gift to all of humanity by honoring every aspect of the Truth of what had transpired, and why it transpired in that manner...rather than continuously hanging up on the wall for viewing by all...your gushing overly emotional (unhealed? unresolved?) verbal paintings of him with extra doses of roses, perfume, and lipstick painted on in addition to what *actually is there to observe and discuss*? F'rinstance, can anybody possibly provide any rational meaning to the phrase "He's a Master's Master." Can anyone actually rationally justify that such a phrase has any intellectually useful or empirical meaning? It all sounds terribly ego-tainted; something along the lines of "my guru is better than your guru," or "there's never been a better guru than mine...and there never will be..."

[@kevincastelino4026]

If some of the commentators who are questioning as to how he read 150k books in his lifetime should show some respect to this great man's intelligence and listen carefully to his words. He never read any book with a purpose. Once he gets the central idea then he need not read the entire book. Sporadic, random reading is enough for intelligent people.

[@tybrady64]

150,000 Books and he read all of them?!? He lived to be 58 years old, but said he stopped reading 10 years ago and this was recorded 5 years before he died. Lets say he started reading at age 5. That would mean he read 10.8 books a day for his entire life. If each book averaged 200 pages and he read for 12 hours a day, that would be one page every twenty seconds. Not impossible, but doubtful. He'd have to read and absorb 100 times faster than he talks! that's for sure!

Rajesh Pariharharhar... It would seem that your ego is jealous of Osho's alleged mastery of white chicks? It is perfectly apparent that there are both tremendous lessons and profound teachings to be assimilated from the uniquely amazing incarnational reign of Osho. Certainly this collective human family and world is now more peaceful and intelligently evolved as a result of Osho's time spent sharing the gifts of his insight, his commitment to Truth, his generosity, and his courage. Is it fair or sane to compare one Truth-teacher/guide with any other...when each is utterly unique, and an example of a life of perfect self-authenticity? The Reality of universal omniconsciousness is too ineffably vast for us to make any definitive statement regarding its true nature; and likewise regarding any evaluations we may form regarding any awakened being...except perhaps such statements as: Each is one of a kind; there is only One. There is no two of a kind; as there is no two.

(A sannyasin on Maui mentioned to me that the the book recommendations in B.I.H.L. were recorded while Osho was under the influence of the dentist's nitrous oxide gas.

[@jeffreyturnbull4992]

With added inspiration from B.I H.L., I, too, am moved to amass a collection of such books of profound insight and wisdom. I am at merely circa 25,000 volumes, but I need help...I need a newer, larger place in which to maintain them! Has anyone else embarked on a similar joy-inducing mission?

Buddha vision can't understand by public, osho you are with us, no-one can break our love with osho.

[@Weiwuwei1000]

Let"s keep in mind that he used to read 12 hrs everyday. so if he read from 5yrs to 50 years of age, then in 45 years one hour per book is..197,100 books..this means 12 books every day ..one hour for book.. But also he might not read the whole book once he knew what the book was all about.. In the beggining I had trouble with this mathematics, but later on I consider the idea that he developed certain abilities that only hard readers developed..

[@AliAli-nu1nr]

1 hour per boòk????

[@amorfati2263]

he said 1532 rare books

[@Brancaalice]

It no huge amount, when i was teen, in summer break, i read 40 books in a month, all ordinary story.

[@arunganapathy9501]

I would take that with a pinch of salt. One book per hour is difficult even for a speed reader. This is not to detract from the fact that he was very well read.

[@jeffreyturnbull4992]

In the printed paperback copy of 'Books I Have Loved" read by moi, I recall having read Osho claiming that he had read merely 100,000 books in his life.

[@arifhussain6701]

I am a huge fan of Osho but here I am really sorry to say that, it is not possible for a man to read 150,000 books in his lifetime, for Osho it becomes 6 books a day, if he had started reading from the day he was born until the day he died.

[@MaddyIndia]

You make good point!

[@newmarvel9746]

Minimum 10k books

[@nirazayn5010]

Thas why he is osho

[@sarandhoom1]

@arifhussain6701 don't be a fan of Osho, try to meditate on Osho......He is Enlightened......✌️

[@benthousand1000]

Bruh what was the number of pages you assumed in a single book? What if some books were just 30-40 pages? He could've gobbled it- and more than your average of 6 per day. Now do you recognise the fallacy in your assumption?

[@OnePercentBetter]

So you're telling me OSHO read 140,000 books?

[@christinebeames2311]

Yes just what I thought , 3 thousand books a year for 50 years ., 9 books a day , I say this is not possible , he’s either fobbing or forgetfull

[@eddygci8]

More likely he was exaggerating

[@Mragdoll]

150 000

[@WeAreAllOneNature]

Maybe he just held a new book, and with his enlightened mind, gained insight into it by tuning into it's ESSENCE.

[@Pikoro09]

[@Shalashaska8636]

I agree with Osho. 'The Brothers Karamazov' is for me, a work of prophetic genius that bores deep into the ultimate essence of human nature. I consider Doestoevsky to be a prophet.

[@jeffreyturnbull4992]

Osho said also that Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' contains all the wisdom of humanity. (Or some similar remark.)

Just like the pharisees and romans killing Y'shua/"Jesus"...same old egocentric materialist militarist mammon-worshiping shit.

You have come to my life and you are going to be present in It forever. Thanks Osho. 👏

[@willieluncheonette5843]

the love in these comments for Osho is very touching.
