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.

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 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.
