Synopsis "Maturity"

One of the greatest spiritual leaders of the twentieth century encourages us to embrace the qualities of life our advancing years grant us in Maturity: The Responsibility of Being Oneself. In a culture infatuated with youth and determined to avoid old age at all costs, this book dares to raise a question that has been all but forgotten in the age of Viagra and cosmetic surgery. What benefits might lie in accepting the aging process as natural, rather than trying to hold on to youth and its pleasures all the way to the grave? Osho takes us back to the roots of what it means to grow up rather than just to grow old. Both in our relationships with others, and in the fulfillment of our own individual destinies, he reminds us of the pleasures that only true maturity can bring. He outlines the ten major growth cycles in human life, from the self-centered universe of the preschooler to the flowering of wisdom and compassion in old age. Osho's sly sense of humor runs like a red thread through the book, along with a profound compassion and understanding of how easy it is to be distracted from the deeper meaning and purpose of our lives--which is, ultimately, to flower into our own individual uniqueness and maturity with an attitude of celebration and joy. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people--along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha--who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.

Osho (1931-1990), born as Chandra Mohan Jain in India, was a mystic and spiritual leader known for his teachings on meditation, awareness, and personal freedom. After studying philosophy and teaching at Jabalpur University, he began to spread his message through lectures and spiritual retreats. In the 1970s, he founded an ashram in Pune, which became a center of attraction for thousands of followers from around the world. His unconventional approach and criticisms of established religions generated both admiration and controversy.

Among his most notable works are Osho Zen Tarot: The Transcendental Game of Zen (1995), The Book of Ego: Freedom from Illusion (2001), Meditation: The First and Last Freedom (1997), and The Book of Man (2002), all within the spiritual essay genre. His legacy continues to influence self-awareness and personal development movements worldwide.
