Compassion, Love and Sex
by Osho Osho International FoundationAlthough Osho responds to a question related to compassion the main issue he addresses in this talk is 'love' and he expands his response to elaborate a deeper understanding of sex, love and compassion. "Only compassion is therapeutic - because all that is ill in man is because of lack of love. All that is wrong with man is somewhere associated with love. He has not been able to love, or he has not been able to receive love. He has not been able to share his being. That's the misery. That creates all sorts of complexes inside."

Compasión
by Osho Osho«Compasión» es un término que se ha usado para describir una amplia gama de comportamientos y actitudes humanas, desde la misericordia hasta la piedad y la caridad. En este libro Osho examina la naturaleza de la compasión desde una perspectiva radicalmente distinta. Nos señala que la «pasión» se encuentra en la raíz de la palabra, y procede a examinar las hipótesis sobre el verdadero significado de aquel término. Muchos supuestos actos de compasión, dice él, están teñidos de un sutil sentimiento de autoimportancia o deseo de reconocimiento. Otros se sustentan no en el deseo de ayudar a los demás sino en el de obligarles a cambiar. Utilizando historias de la vida de Jesús, de Buda y del mundo del zen, Osho muestra cómo surge de nuestro interior el camino hacia la auténtica compasión, empezando por una profunda aceptación y amor por uno mismo. Solo entonces, dice Osho, puede florecer la compasión y convertirse en una fuerza sanadora, arraigadaen la aceptación incondicional del otro tal y como es.
