Through an assortment of Zen stories and responses to questions, Osho uses humor to hammer on the idea that the self is all that there is. “A sudden change, a sudden clash of thunder, a discontinuity” and the bondage of the mind is broken.

Osho uses the Tao Te Ching texts as Lao Tzu intended: to ignite the flame of individual awareness and insight. From the seven verses Osho selected to comment on, he moves deeply into his own understanding and burns through every idea we may hold about ourselves until we can see with the same crystal clear light as Lao Tzu.

Sufis say truth cannot be taught, but it can be learned. Through these poignant and sometimes poetic stories, if the listener is able to penetrate deeply enough, they will hear and understand the mystery.

Using Sufi stories as the central theme, Osho reveals and unravels both the hidden teachings of Sufism and his own understanding of life itself and the human condition.

While commenting on Sufi stories and answering many questions concerning the spiritual search, Osho reveals the Sufi concept of “dying before death” in order to achieve spiritual awakening.
Osho’s insight unravels many everyday contemporary problems.

In this second of a two-volume series titled, Tao: The Golden Gate, Osho draws on the ancient Taoist truths as taught by master Ko Hsuan, and brings his penetrating and unique insight in responses to a range of questions from his audience.

In these commentaries on Sufi stories – and through his responses to questions – Osho reveals what is already known inside us but is hidden by layers of society’s conditioning.

A true master is a gift from existence, a lamp on a dark night lighting the path that leads to your true self. Osho is a great master of our time, revealing truths hidden by social conditioning.
