Social Services

The nearly three billion people living on two dollars a day are not just the world’s greatest challenge - they represent an extraordinary market opportunity. The key is what Paul Polak and Mal Warwick call Zero-Based Design: starting from scratch to create innovative products and services tailored for the very poor, armed with a thorough understanding of what they really want and need, and driven by what Polak and Warwick call "the ruthless pursuit of affordability". Polak has been doing this work for years, and Warwick has extensive experience in both business and philanthropy.

Have you ever known someone who can instantly connect with anyone? Having the ability to start and hold conversations with ease, no matter who this person meets, he or she manages to create a sense of trust and understanding within a matter of minutes. We can intuitively believe that this is a natural gift - either you can build rapport like this, or you can't. However, this isn't correct: developing rapport is a skill that anyone can learn and use.

Secondo Osho «Il silenzio è la meditazione per eccellenza, ed è la base di qualsiasi esperienzareligiosa. Ma in cosa consiste? Potresti crearlo, potresti coltivarlo, potresti importelo... ma così rimane qualcosa di superficiale, di falso, una finzione. Potresti farne una pratica, in quel casoinizierai a percepirlo e a sperimentarlo; ma proprio il tuo farne un esercizio, lo renderà una sorta di autoipnosi. Quello non è il vero silenzio. Il silenzio vero affiora solo quando la tua mente si dissolve, non a causa di un qualsiasi sforzo, magrazie a una comprensione.

“Lo Zen è un’esperienza improvvisa: non c’è preparazione, non ci sono prove, non c’è una disciplina, non c’è un sentiero” chiarisce Osho, e aggiunge: “All’improvviso apri gli occhi: come se un lampo ti avesse colpito, interrompendo il sonno di milioni di anni. In quell risveglio, conosci il mistero dell’esistenza.” A quella folgorante esperienza Osho avvicina in queste tredici immersioni, sollecitando il momento inevitabile che nella vita quotidiana si ha la tendenza a ignorare.

In quest’ultima parte dei discorsi dedicati da Osho al "Così parlò Zarathustra" di Nietzsche, risulta evidente una nuova trasposizione di identità. Infatti, il Maestro inizia richiamando l’attenzione sulmistico persiano, così come lui lo evoca, e nel testo – pur apprezzando tutte le intuizioni che portarono Nietzsche vicinissimo alla verità – sottolinea con fermezza le lacune nei ragionamenti delpoeta filosofo che confermano la sua inesperienza, rispetto alla dimensione dell’essere.

Così parlò Zarathustra: “Io vi insegno il Superuomo. L’uomo è qualcosa che deve essere superato. Che avete fatto voi per superarlo?” E Osho avviando la sua visitazione del capolavoro di Nietzsche, commenta: “Cosa intende Zarathustra per ‘superuomo’? Esattamente quello che io intendo per ‘uomo nuovo’. Ho tralasciato la parola ‘super’ per motivi ben precisi. Può essere fraintesa... lo è già stata. L’uomo del futuro è per me ‘l’uomo nuovo’.
