Love And Meditation

The five above mentioned books are the transcribed versions of the lectures given by Osho in Mumbai about five years back. These books of the ‘Upanishads’ as the author himself brands them, are in the question-answer form. Questioned by his disciples on the various physical, physiological and para-psychological aspects of human life vis-a-vis nature, the master seer explains them in a most lucid yet somewhat laconic manner, punctuating his observations with very witty ancedotes. Delving deep onto the phenomenon of the astral and physical world, the author takes the reader beyond the perview of mind and questions the very purpose of human existence and its utility in the universe. Explaining the most abstract meta-physical conceptions by his erudite scholarship, Osho admirably succeeds in shedding off the slough of obscurantist learning to bring out the pristine reality. What makes these books or this set eminently readable, is the way of their presentation. The well-syntaxed small sentences leave no scope for any ambiguity whatever. The master orator has the knack of elucidating the most ephemeral and abstract concept in the most modern scientific terms. In ‘The Centre of the Cyclone’ he deftly uses the phenomenon of a cyclone to explain the enveloping thoughts that keep the mind at rest, like the eye of the cyclone. Osho is the most modern thinker of our times whose arguments rest on scientific reasoning.
