Every person on earth has one struggle in common: making decisions in the face of adversity. Whenever a person is faced with a tough choice, there are a lot of factors—both moral and practical—that determine what the person will eventually decide. However, choices come with consequences and not everyone finds themselves equipped to face them.

But what if there was a simple, practical way of ensuring that this struggle and guilt wouldn’t be a problem at all? It could be achieved if only one imbibed some mindfulness in their everyday lives. But what is this mindfulness and how can one gain it?

Read on, as Osho talks about the many virtues and benefits of living mindfully in What Is Mindfulness?, a straightforward guide to living a better life.

Osho

Osho defies categorization. Mystic and scientist, a rebellious spirit whose sole interest is to alert humanity to the urgent need to discover a new way of living. To continue as before is to invite threats to our very survival on this unique and beautiful planet.

His thousands of talks cover everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social, political and environmental issues facing society today. Osho's books are not written but transcribed from audio and video recordings of his extemporaneous talks to international audiences. And he tells them, 'Remember: whatever I am saying is not just for you . . . I am talking also for the future generations.'

Osho has been described by Sunday Times in London as one of the '1000 Makers of the 20th Century', and by American author Tom Robbins as 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ'. Sunday Mid-Day (Mumbai) has selected Osho as one of the ten people-along with Gandhi, Nehru and the Buddha-who have changed the destiny of India.

About his own work, Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He often characterizes this new human being as 'Zorba, the Buddha'-capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of Zorba, the Greek, and the silent serenity of Gautama, the Buddha.

Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's talks and meditations is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of all ages past and the highest potential of today's (and tomorrow's) science and technology.

Osho is known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, with an approach to meditation that acknowledges the accelerated pace of contemporary life. His unique OSHO Active Meditations® are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it then becomes easier to experience a stillness and thought-free relaxation which can be taken into daily life.

Two autobiographical works by the author are available: Autobiography of a Spiritually Incorrect Mystic (St Martin's Press, New York, book and e-book) and Glimpses of a Golden Childhood (OSHO Media International, Pune, India, book and e-book).
