Joy: The Happiness That Comes from Within

From The Sannyas Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search
Timely and relevant to a society increasingly populated by people who depend on prescription drugs to get them through the day. Osho challenges us to look into the ways we so often create - and then cling to - our own unhappiness. And urges us to reconnect with the natural joy we were born with, and that is available to us the moment we turn our attention to the silent space within.
