Rebellion, Revolution and Religiousness

by Osho

For those of you who have been wobbling between political movements and spiritual search, this is a wonderful book. It sorts out the virtues and shortcomings of socialism and anarchism, it smashes christianitys self-destructive demands of serving others, and it gives you guidelines, not for a future utopia, but for a constant ongoing inner rebellion, a change that might change the world.

Osho taught that all of the established religions of the past are spiritually bankrupt, and urged each individual to theologically decondition themselves as a prelude to true enlightenment. ;I don't preach revolution. I am utterly against revolution. My word for the future, and for those who are intelligent enough in the present, is 'rebellion'. Rebellion is individual action; it has nothing to do with the crowd. It is spiritual metamorphosis.
