Enlightenment: The Only Revolution.



Enlightenment: The Only Revolution.

Powerful and penetrating discourses on the famous dialogue between the mystic Ashtavakra – one of OSHO's favorite ancient Indian masters – and King Janak. By the end of the dialogue, King Janak is enlightened.


OSHO says:
'There are no other statements anywhere as pure, transcendental and beyond time and space as these. Man has many scriptures, but none are comparable to the Gita of Ashtavakra. Before it the Vedas pale, the Upanishads are a mere whisper. Even the Bhagavadgita does not have the majesty found in the Ashtavakra Samhita – it is simply unparalleled. Neither society, nor politics, nor any other institution of human life had any influence on the statements of Ashtavakra. '...If these words penetrate you, they will start awakening your sleeping soul. These words will thrill you. These words will fill you with ecstasy. These words will shock you. With these words a revolution can take place.... This is why I have chosen the Ashtavakra Gita: I have chosen it because you are ready.'
OSHO
