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.

Step by step, Osho explains what he calls “the central teaching of Patanjali” – a path of eight steps that leads finally to transformation. Osho describes the significance and meaning of each of Patanjali's steps of self-exploration.

Osho comments in depth on the framework of Patanjali’s system of Yoga. In an exploration that goes deeper than either science or religion, he opens a window into the mystery of life.

Osho examines the mind, desire, the ego, real love, and how meditation leads to understanding life and death. This is the seventh of ten volumes of commentary on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, each clarifying a different aspect of Yoga.
