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 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 takes the Gospel of Thomas out of their narrower Christian context, and blends their wisdom with the rich threads of Eastern traditions of mysticism, thereby showing the truly universal nature of Jesus′ teachings.

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.”

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.
