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.

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.

The Bauls are wandering mystics who sing and ecstatically dance their love and gratitude to their God. Osho explains that this essential man lives within us all, already dancing, singing, blissful for no reason.

Love is the divine melody, says Kabir. Osho says this existence is love energy, and the way to experience it is by flowing with existence, becoming one with it, by realizing that you are a unique part of this existence.

Osho addresses how man is born complete, a rainbow, the whole spectrum, but through external influences becomes fragmented. Life is a search to regain this “oneness.”

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.

If you can fall in harmony with Kabir’s vision, you will be enriched beyond all your expectations. Osho says Kabir is not a philosopher, he is a poet singing his own experience.

What does the word God mean? In Osho’s terminology it means love, life, and existence. Through the beautiful songs of Kabir, Osho explores the concept of “the guest.” The guest is godliness, and the seeker must become a host to receive it. “Now wake up. Friend, now wake up!”
