Las enfermedades le ocurren al hombre, pero el hombre es, en si mismo, una enfermedad. Esta es su buena fortuna y tambien su infortunio. Y esta ha sido la condicion que le ha impulsado a su desarrollo, a su evolucion, porque enfermedad significa que no podemos ser felices con lo que somos, que uno no puede aceptar lo que es. Dos metodos han sido utilizados para entender y sanar la enfermedad llamada hombre: una es la medicina, la otra es la meditacion. Ambos son tratamientos para una misma enfermedad, la medicina trata de sanar al individuo desde afuera, la meditacion trata de manterner sano al ser interno de la persona. Ni la ciencia de la meditacion puede estar completa sin la medicina, ni la ciencia de la medicina esta completa sin la meditacion, puesto que el hombre es cuerpo y espiritu.

Osho’s philosophy always hits home. By the time I’d finished reading this book, my view of creativity had changed completely. I was both exhilarated and in despair at the insights revealed to me. Exhilarated, because some force – some unknown thing—inside me found freedom to breathe with every page I read. In despair because, as I realised I had the key to my personal creative freedom in my hand, I knew that the chances of me getting published in the traditional way was even more remote.

This book pulls no punches when it forces you to understand what true creativity is: a fragrance of freedom that blends together both feeling and action into an awareness that translates into a uniquely individual creative expression. I was reminded that each and every one of us comes into this world with a specific destiny; the Divine has a task for us and, whether that task (in my case, writing my novels) is recognised by the collective is less important that whether I love what I do for the sake of doing it.

From now on, I’ll never wash the kitchen floor again…I’ll be painting an invisible picture with my mop! My enthusiasm for my chosen craft—one in which the odds *against* success are overwhelming—has been restored. And my creative forces have truly been unleashed with the simple wisdom contained in this volume. ( )
