The Alchemy of Enlightenment

Osho, the thinker par excellence, gives in these books his thought-provoking views in a clear and unambiguous language. It is said that the clarity of thought is best represented by the manner you put them, and the ‘great achievement of our age’ viz. Osho, has no peer in this field. Developing his thoughts with the help of metaphorical use of a mirror, Osho explains the causes which make a human personality schizophrenic. With the East giving emphasis only on mind and discarding body and the West confining its view only to what is seen, that is, body and dividing inner consciousness of mind as by-product, the net effect on the human personality is that it’s getting torn in two incomplete pieces. With crystal-clear analysis, Osho brings into focus the very disease that is striking at the root of human entity. That love is to make one rise and then realise the essential bliss of human existence, is a thought which Osho expresses very powerfully in ‘Rising in Love’. What is the process of attaining enlightenment is succinctly dealt with in ‘The Alchemy of Enlightenment’. All these books are the transcribed versions of the lectures given by Osho. The beauty of the whole set of books is that despite the ‘heaviness’ and abstractness of the subjects discussed therein, the reader hardly feels it and imbibes the thoughts of the greatest thinker of the twentieth century with longing and appreciation. These books can change the thinking of an awakened mind.
