This book is a collection of astonishing stories—astonishing chapters from the life of Osho. They are unique in that they let you look at the world around you through the eyes of an awakened mystic, and if you have enough inner silence to hear him, these sparks of wisdom will penetrate you and change you forever. Ordinary everyday situations, well-known parables and stories, incidents from life, and encounters with students and friends turn into a world of beautiful sunrises and sunsets, metaphors and images, facts and laws that can’t be understood without deep immersion in the secret mysteries of existence. Osho helps us immerse ourselves in these mysteries. He reveals layer by layer our personal identity until the meeting with an amazing truth happens—our “Self.” “A thirst for knowledge is a desire for life itself to become music, for the setting sun. For life to become presence of the unknown that surrounds you, exuding a magical aroma” (OSHO). : This book includes letters from Osho written to his beloved student Anandmai—rare thoughts that Osho had ever expressed in his life. They are not so much letters as small stories and legends. Describing everyday situations he faced, as well as retelling famous parables, Osho reveals to readers the nature of truth and the inner search, and at the same time gives you the chance to feel the scent of his own life and spiritual path. Following Osho’s words—which are, in reality, full of silence—you will notice how quiet and calm the mind becomes, stepping aside for clarity, the ability to see and perceive things as they truly are. We invite you to share Osho’s wisdom and become a witness to the birth of your own wisdom.
