Description
This 4-volume collection carries commentaries of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
VOLUME ONE:
The Alchemy of Yoga
These transcribed talks given by Osho on the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali address the seed, or the source, of misery, a look at what makes misery inevitable, from an inner point of view. Given any of life's situations, one can be happy. The main reason that we are not is a becaue we habitually and mechanically seek solutions and understanding outside of ourselves.
VOLUME TWO:
The Ever-Present Flower
Patanjali is a rare flower. He has a scientific mind, but his journey is inner. That’s why he became the first and the last word: he is the Alpha and the omega.
For five thousand years nobody could improve upon him. It seems he cannot be improved upon. He will remain the last word because the very combination is impossible.
To have a scientific attitude and to enter into the inner is almost an impossibility. He talks like a mathematician, a logician. He talks like Aristotle, and he is a Heraclitus.
VOLUME THREE
The Birth of Being
The mind can not enter on the path of Yoga because Yoga means a Methodology to reveal the truth. Yoga is a method to come to non-dreaming mind yoga is the science to be in the here and now. Yoga means now you are ready not to hope, not to jump ahead of your being. Yoga means to encounter the reality as it is.
VOLUME FOUR
