Osho says there is no way to go beyond the Mandukya Upanishad, its message is eternal and represents the ultimate in human consciousness. While science dissects and divides, the Upanishad is a holistic, individual approach; a unifying vision. “That’s the message of the Upanishadic philosophy, of the Mandukya Upanishad: wholeness,” says Osho as he uses its twelve verses, and one from the Ishavasya Upanishad, to illuminate the meaning of “om” and show the four stages on the path to enlightenment.
Exploring each verse with deep understanding, using humor and jokes rather than academic commentary, and responding to questions on many aspects of modern life, Osho encourages the reader to an awakening based on their own experience.

“Beware of the scholars if you want to understand the Upanishads. These are the words of the masters, of the buddhas, of the awakened ones.”  Osho
