Osho introduces Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher who was thought of as eccentric, using outlandish statements to put across his message. His audience found him difficult to understand ‒ he was known as “the Riddler” and “the Obscure,” but Osho describes Heraclitus as a rare flowering; a highly penetrating soul who in the East would have been known as a buddha.

His immense contribution to human consciousness is seen in his talks on the logos, the ultimate law. He shows the common ground where humanity is not separate, not individual islands; where all are ordinary, not trying to be extraordinary ‒ the very action that separates. Heraclitus says that everything is a process and only change is eternal; that if you listen, nature speaks.
