A fiery book alive with Osho's love for Kabir and for the only revolution that counts: enlightenment. It is the only revolution that can bring about a total transformation so that we can once again see the world through eyes free of all the judgments and conditionings that have been put there from the outside.
A new vision is needed in the world - a new vision which will be as
scientific as possible and as religious as possible. That I call revolution. The
world is waiting for that revolution, the world is hungry for that revolution -
where religion and science can disappear into each other, where East and West
can become one for the first time, where the materialist and the spiritualist
are no more enemies but are holding hands in deep friendship. Because that is
what is happening in life itself: matter is holding hands with spirit. The
materialist need not be against the spiritualist, nor need the spiritualist be
against the materialist. That is stupid. And that stupidity has lasted really
too long and man has suffered too much.
A new vision is needed in the world - a new vision which will be as
scientific as possible and as religious as possible. That I call revolution. The
world is waiting for that revolution, the world is hungry for that revolution -
where religion and science can disappear into each other, where East and West
can become one for the first time, where the materialist and the spiritualist
are no more enemies but are holding hands in deep friendship.
About the Author:
OSHO was born on 11 December 1931, and attained 'enlightenment' at the twenty-one, and went on to complete his academic studies. He spent several years teaching philosophy at the University of Jabalpur. By the late 1960, Osho had begun to develop his unique dynamic meditation techniques. He felt that modern man is so burdened with the archaic traditions of the past as well as the anxieties of modern-day living, that he must go through a deep cleansing process before he can hope to discover the thought-less relaxed state of meditation.
In early 1970s, the West first began to hear of Osho. By 1974, a commune had been established around him in Pune, and the trickle of visitors from the West soon became a flood. Osho left his body on 19 January 1990. His talks have been published in more than six hundred volumes, and translated into over thirty languages.
