BOOK – I

Ignorance is our natural state, there is nothing wrong with it. Just as everybody is naked behind the clothes-however thick your clothes are, however many layers of clothes you have, your nakedness is still there. There is nothing in it to be ashamed of.
REVIEWS
I think Osho is a great achievement of our age.
-Amrita Pritam
World-renowned Poetess,
Writer & Member of Rajya Sabha
Osho…is really a free-thinking agnostic. He is profoundly erudite and can explain the most abstract conception in simple language illustrated with witty anecdotes. He mocks gods, prophets, scriptures and religious practices and gives a totally new dimension to religion.
-Indian Express, Khushwant Singh, December 25, 1988
Reading Osho one wishes one had said what the Osho has said. There has never been
anyone like him before. It is doubtful whether there will ever be anyone like him again.
-M V Kamath
Former Editor, Illustrated Weekly of India
Osho is a giant in the field of spiritual Wisdom.
- Dr A N Deshpande
Author, Poet, Critic, Historian of Marathi Literature, November 1988
Osho has not only justified his command over worldly matters, but proved that he is the intellectual giant of the 20th century.
-The Daily Bombay, India September 13, 1987.
BOOK – II
Laughter is My Message
Existence is hilarious! If you just have eyes to seethe hilarious points you will be surprised: in life there is no place to be serious. Everybody is slipping on banana peels-you just need an insight to see.
One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.
Those who become silent and happy join in the laughter. Laughter is my message.
I do not ask you to do prayer. I ask you to find moments, situations, in which you can laugh whole-heartedly. Your laughter will open a thousand and one roses within you.
