Description
This compilation consists of excerpts especially chosen from among the five hundred original volumes that have made Osho the most complete radical visionary of our time.
Religion is a dead rock. I teach you not religion but religiousness, a flowing river continuous-ly changing its course but ultimately reaching to the ocean. A rock may be very ancient, far more experienced, but a rock is a rock and it is dead.
REVIEWS:
Osho is a fountain of wisdom that never goes dry.
—Mr. V N Narayan, Chief editor, Hindustan Times, New Delhi
