Osho speaks in response to a question about the right way to help children to grow without interfering in their natural potentiality.

Do you want to improve your relationships and productivity, all by simply changing your listening habits? Listening is the forgotten communication skill, but arguably, the most significant. It is a crucial part of our ability to engage and communicate with others. Listening actively, however, takes this skill-set up a level. Almost everyone sincerely believes that they listen effectively; however, good listening skills are rare. Most of us have never been taught the habits that would make us effective listeners, so they need to be practiced and developed.

Osho responds to a question related to 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."

The child needs your love, not your help. The child needs nourishment, support, but not your help. Every way to help a child is wrong. The very idea of helping is not right. The natural potential of the child is unknown, so there is no way to help him rightly to attain to his natural potential. You cannot help when the goal is unknown; all that you can do is not interfere. And in fact, in the name of help everybody is interfering with everybody else; and because the name is beautiful, nobody objects.

»Das Buch der Geheimnisse« nimmt innerhalb Oshos umfangreichen Werks eine Sonderstellung ein. Basierend auf einer alten Schrift ‘Vigyan Bhairav Tantra’ gibt Osho klare Anweisungen für jede der 112 Meditationen, die leicht zu befolgen sind und er begleitet jede Meditationsübung mit einer Diskussion der Wirkungen, die die Meditation hervorrufen kann, und der metaphysischen Prinzipien, auf denen sie basiert. Die Meditationen selbst stammen aus einer tantrischen Tradition, die Osho in unsere Zeit überträgt und dem zeitgenössischen Zuhörer leicht zugänglich macht.

AI offers an exciting extension of many human capabilities such as observation, processing, and decision-making. The output and outcomes of AI systems are nearly instantaneous, offering humans powerful efficiencies that did not exist just a few years ago. The computing power and systems used for AI technologies far exceed human cognitive capabilities, allow for constant “machine learning” without human supervision, and include consideration of patterns that are typically impossible for humans to discern.
