Only Love Is Real

Osho presents a radically new perspective on compassion in this tenth volume of his Insights for a New Way of Living series. Osho reveals that compassion is at its root, and challenges common assumptions about what it really means. He says that many so-called acts compassion are clouded by a subtle sense or self-importance and a desire to be recognized. Others are motivated by the desire to not only help others, but also to make them change. Osho demonstrates how authentic compassion begins within by using stories from Jesus, Buddha, and Zen.
