(Arrival: Oct 01 till 4 pm | Departure: Oct 05 after 2 pm)

Out of my ten years of experience of working in Osho communes (and practicing work-meditation since more than twenty years) I have learnt how to transform work into worship. To worship in the commune is to get soaked in the energy field of an enlightened master. In the ordinary sense of work there is ambition, stress, competition. With meditation, work is transformed into play and relaxation. With sincerity and responsibility towards one’s own self growth and making meditation a part of our day to day life, it is easy to create a balance between work and meditation.

In this group, we will be doing Osho meditations and taking the same meditative quality to a variety of tasks available in the natural environment at Osho Nisarga and surrounding areas, As Osho says, meditation need not be a serious affair, it can be fun, unleashing infinite creativity.

Osho says:
"Whatsoever you do, if you do it joyfully, if you do it lovingly, if your act of doing it is not purely economical, then it is creative. If you have something growing out of it within you, if it gives you growth, it is spiritual, it is creative, it is divine.”

Osho adds:
"Work is a necessary part of your transformation. Groups clean your mind but without work the mind will again gather rubbish. Meditation takes you beyond-the-mind, but it starts cutting roots from the body-mind, and I want you to be with a wholesome integrated personality. Therapists clean the rubbish that centuries have poured into the mind, then work should make the body rooted in the ground, and then meditation can grow like flowers of a tree in the high sky.

People need to change the attitude that exists about work, particularly in the Western mind. Meditation should be part of the work, not separate from it.

Work and relaxation are not contradictory. In fact, the more you put yourself into work the deeper you can go into relaxation. So both are important. The harder you work the deeper you can relax. Work is valuable. It will bring humbleness and silence. People should feel that their work is something very special, and that whatever work they do is respectable."
