Danger: Truth at Work goes to the heart of our most fundamental human issues. Why can’t we just live happily and be content? While we seem to have all the knowledge we need to solve our problems, we haven’t. In this timely book, Osho explains that religious conditioning has held us back. Each chapter covers a different aspect of this conditioning, and, in gentle but persuasive language, shows readers how to transcend it. Individual chapters cover such subjects as The Nuclear Family: The Imminent Meltdown; Pseudo-Religion: The Stick-on Soul; They Say Believe, I Say Explore; and Ecstasy Is Now: Why Wait? and others.

´Truth is dangerous, dangerous to all those people who have been living in fictions, beautiful lies, nice dreams, utopias.
Truth is bound to be looked on as an enemy by all these people, because it is going to shatter all that they have believed and lived for.
Truth is just the death of all kinds of lies, howsoever consoling they may have been.`

The DVD discourse is titled "Knowing the Truth is to experience Existence as it is," from the series From Unconsciousness to Consciousness, and gives a firsthand experience of the process of spiritual renewal, which Osho calls a "dry cleaning of the mind."
While Osho passed away in 1990, he left a rich legacy of video recordings that form the basis of this important book and video.

´I don't determine acts wrong and right as such.
My focus is your being.
My effort is that you are there, in your being.
Then whatever you do is right.

A Zen monk used to steal -- and he was a great Master -- but I say it was right because he was fully awake. Now, stealing in itself does not matter; whether it is right or wrong. It is a question of who is doing it.

You are awakened to your own awareness.

I have told you there is only one sin:
That is unawareness.

Each moment of unawareness carries its own punishment, and each moment of awareness carries its own reward. They are intrinsic parts, you cannot divide them.`
