Every Human Being Is a Seeker of Truth

By: Osho

Narrated by: Osho

The qualities of a seeker of truth are the subject question of this talk by Osho. "Every child is born with an innate search for truth. It is not something learned or adopted later on in life. Truth simply means, 'I am, but I do not know who I am.' And the question is natural - 'I must know the reality of my being. It is not a curiosity.'"

This Osho talk was all about truth and the unification of the mind.

Osho spoke about borrowed truth and how most of humanity is using borrowed truth to define the world. He said the written word is dead in comparison to the spoken and that the spoken has a great deal of life behind it. In the Tao de Ching which is mentioned in this talk it says the real truth cannot be spoken: Osho goes on to say that he agrees and disagrees with this statement and that the truth can be pointed at and if anyone were to maintain silence who would do the pointing? Osho spoke about the totality of the mind and the unification of the conscious with the unconscious. The main topic here is about defining truth and realizing that all the children in the world are the greatest victims: being taught how to think and what to believe and that everyone of us has had the same thing happen to us. That Socrates only goal in regards to his disciples was to know thyself and yet he was ostracized and forced to self suicide with poison for corrupting the youth. This Osho talk asks many questions and gives many answers that ultimately point at the truth. No one can do Samadhi for you, that all the paths to the truth are a solitary path. This one had a bit of a slow start and I found him difficult to understand in the beginning however after the first 10 minutes it got better.
