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.

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.
