Intimacy | Free Book
One of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century
shares his wisdom about building loving relationships in
Intimacy: Trusting Oneself and the Other.
“Hit-and-run” relationships have become common in our
society as it has grown more rootless, less tied to traditional
family structures, and more accepting of casual sex. But at the same
time, there arises an undercurrent of feeling that something is
missing—a quality of intimacy.
This quality has very
little to do with the physical, though sex is certainly one possible
door. Far more important is a willingness to expose our deepest
feelings and vulnerabilities, with the trust that the other person
will treat them with care. Ultimately, the willingness to take the
risk of intimacy has to be grounded in an inner strength that knows
that even if the other remains closed, even if that trust is
betrayed, we will not suffer any permanent damage.
In
this gentle and compassionate guide, Osho takes his readers
step-by-step through what makes people afraid of intimacy, how to
encounter those fears and go beyond them, and what they can do to
nourish themselves and their relationships to support more openness
and trust.
Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the
conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their
capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described
by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of
the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of
the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have
changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the
influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers
of all ages in virtually every country of the world.
