Description
This book is a collection of 11 discourses of Osho on Zen. The main thrust of his exposition is: Don't give much energy to thoughts; you are poisoning yourself. Whenever thinking starts, if it is unnecessary – and ninety-nine percent of it is unnecessary – immediately bring yourself back to reality. Anything will help: the touch of the chair you are sitting on, or the touch of the bed you are lying on. Feel the touch; it is more real than your thoughts about god, it is more godly than your thoughts about god because it is real.
