Osho explores the theme of each individual’s responsibility in creating the world we live in, and how the world can be transformed. He critiques the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, then proposes his own ten elemental rights.

Osho outlines how Yoga, when followed without austere practices and suppressed attitudes, can help people to become more natural and flowing, making it easier to move into meditation. Referring to the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, a logician, mystic and poet living in 400 AD, he introduces a form of Yoga evolved from ancient traditions that is of continuing relevance to contemporary life.

In The Hidden Harmony, Osho introduces Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher who was thought of as eccentric, using outlandish statements to put across his message. His audience found him difficult to understand ‒ he was known as “the Riddler” and “the Obscure,” but Osho describes Heraclitus as a rare flowering; a highly penetrating soul.

Here are words like fire from a truly rebellious man. Here is a book for today, a much needed declaration that for man, there is hope, there is a way forward.
