Osho's "Sambhog Se Samadhi Ki Aur-III Nari Aur Kranti" is the third volume in a series that explores the transformative journey from sexual energy to spiritual enlightenment, with a specific focus on the role of women and the necessity of societal revolution. The book posits that conventional morality and social structures suppress natural human energies, particularly feminine energy, hindering individual and collective liberation. Osho advocates for a radical re-evaluation of sexuality, relationships, and societal norms, presenting this as a 'Dharmayuddh' – a righteous war against the old, the dead, and the oppressive, to establish truth and authentic human existence. It's a call for inner and outer rebellion, leading towards ultimate freedom and superconsciousness.
“जो पुराना है वह जाएगा। जो मृत है वह गिरेगा, क्योंकि धर्मयुद्ध छेड़ दिया है ओशो ने।”
Key themes
- Sexuality and Spirituality
- This is the foundational theme, exploring Osho's radical premise that sexual energy (Sambhog) is not separate from or antithetical to spiritual awakening (Samadhi), but rather a powerful, often suppressed, force that can be consciously channeled into higher states of consciousness. He argues against the repression of sexuality, asserting that it leads to neurosis and blocks spiritual growth.
- Women's Liberation and Empowerment
- A central focus of this particular volume, Osho argues that the historical subjugation of women (Nari) has not only harmed women themselves but also distorted the entire human experience and blocked spiritual progress. He advocates for a radical re-evaluation of women's roles, their inherent energy, and their equal standing in society and spirituality, seeing their liberation as crucial for collective enlightenment.
- Revolution and Transformation
- The book frames the journey as a 'Dharmayuddh' – a righteous war against the old, the dead, and the oppressive structures of society and mind. This theme emphasizes the necessity of both individual and collective revolution to achieve true freedom and establish truth. It's a call to discard outdated beliefs and embrace radical change.
