Description

Why does Osho call the desire for nirvana, enlightenment, “the last  nightmare”? Because, he says, all desire, all hope is the nightmare-and  that this hope postpones us from being in the present moment, open to  life and to what truly is. “I will go on singing the beauties of  ecstasy, but don’t misunderstand me. I’m not trying to convince you that  nirvana has to be achieved. It is not a goal. It cannot be made a goal.  It cannot be made an object of desire. It is available. Just look. Have  an alert look. Life is tremendously bautiful. It is showering on you  from everywhere.” Through Zen stories, jokes and responses to questions,  Osho talks on topics such as the nature of desire, the disease of  comparison, man’s compulsive need to do, being creative with work, and  the freedom of consciousness-all to give us the wake up call that:  “Nirvana is not somewhere. It is the whole performance of life.”http://books.google.com.pk/books/about/Nirvana_The_Last_Nightmare.html?id=aqOUS7Z2jPsC&redir_esc=y
