“The culture that will arise in the future, if it is truly to be for the evolution of mankind, will be a balance of science and religion. This culture will be a synthesis of religion and science. It will not be only religious or only scientific: it will be either scientifically religious or religiously scientific.”
Osho










The Path of Love


The Path of Love

On the Songs of the Indian Mystic Kabir



Kabir is a 15th Century Indian mystic. A poet, weaver, husband and father, he is enlightened and yet an ordinary man. His poetic songs tell of the ecstasy and the pitfalls on a seeker’s journey on the path of love.

Osho describes Kabir as one of the greatest mystics ever born and dedicated five series of talks to Kabir’s work.

“Love is the secret key; it opens the door of the divine.”
Osho

















The Osho Upanishad


The Osho Upanishad



This book begins with the question, "Could you please explain the work of a mystery school?" And Osho goes on to describe the support that such schools give to the seekers of truth, throughout time, the world over.

Commencing this series of talks at the completion of his World Tour, Osho declares the beginning of a new phase of his own work saying: "Books can be written, can be dictated to a machine, but what I am going to start is totally different. It is an upanishad."

Osho explains that "Upanishad" means to be taken into the world of the master - and this is the work of his mystery school. Responding to a myriad of insightful, existential and sincere questions - What is mysticism? What is fear? What is freedom? Buddha, Rinzai, Krishnamurti, Marx, Gandhi, Bodhidharma, Nietzsche, Jesus, Gurdjieff, Zarathustra - they all become grist to Osho’s mill, bringing the reader to the point of awareness where all questions begin to disappear.




One Seed Can Make the Whole Earth Green


One Seed Can Make the Whole Earth Green



In Osho’s understanding Zen is the approach to religion that has not put fetters on mankind. These four talks pay homage to Zen’s reverence for life and its celebration of the everyday. He sees in Zen a seed, pregnant with infinite potential. Interspersed with his comments on anecdotes about the Zen masters Rinzai and Fuketsu, Osho addresses current issues.


With characteristic forthrightness he shows how society diverges from what it preaches and how it lives. This beautifully designed volume of talks also features commentaries on haikus, and a great selection of jokes!
