Although born more than four thousand years ago, Patanjali remains contemporary – Yoga has become part of today’s natural healthy lifestyle. In this commentary on the sutras, Osho reintroduces the foundations of Yoga in a way accessible to everyone.

Osho calls for a new humanity that is both responsible and free, challenging us to understand our world and ourselves in a new and radical way. The first step is to question and doubt all that we have been taught to believe.

Osho describes Patanjali as a mathematician of the ultimate poetry; a mystic with a scientific mind, who analyzes and dissects as if in a lab, but his lab is one of the inner being.

Osho infuses new life into the ancient sayings of Patanjali, and shows how a meditative approach can make everyday situations opportunities for awareness.

“Life has no meaning; it simply exists, and exists so beautifully without meaning that there is no need.”

In these talks given to an audience of people interested in meditation and inner experience, Osho gives us an enlightened vision of taking responsibility for our own religiousness – and the joy of living our true and unique individuality.

Osho comments on incidents around Yakusan’s life, but he focuses on us, the reader, and on how we can reconnect to our essential being and become unified with existence. As Zen says, it can happen in a moment – and only in this moment.
