With his infallible power of speech, unfailing voice and peculiar
thoughts, Osho has captivated the highly intellectual people. This book
is the collection of 22 of his selected lectures. Actually, calling them
lecture is an injustice to them, they are a blend of lectures and
legends, they blend together all the qualities of these two forms. Once
we start reading this book, we will not be able to notice the time that
is passing, we will be lost in it. The title itself is a symbol that
Osho considers everything from a different angle. In this book, he
intersected the word `religion`. He admits to being religious though.
For him true religiousness lies in being good, and having a perfect
conduct. Have we understood it earlier? Religion has affected the public
opinion tremendously. It has influenced the society with views like god,
sin and virtue, heaven and hell, resolution of mind, sacrifice, etc.
Naturally, such a person will find Osho`s thoughts rebellious. It is
impossible to come up with such thoughts unless one has studied
pervasively, contemplated in depth and has immense intelligence. The
peculiar features of Osho"s lectures are his sweet language with
continuous flow, humour, and the jokes that he tells in between. Reading
the book is like having a conversation with him in real. Even after
completing the book we hear his dialogues in our mind. We keep on
floating in the same environment for a long time.
