“Politicians try in every way to keep countries afraid… In your fear is their power.”
“If intelligence grows, temples will be empty, but life will become immensely beautiful.”
For over five thousand years the politician and the priest have been in the same business, says Osho—the business of fear in order to wield absolute power over humanity. Drawing upon his talks delivered during the 1980s, this is a gloriously subversive and empowering book that is of immense relevance today, when countries around the world are threatened by authoritarianism, greed and religious intolerance.
Osho is universally recognized as a great mystic—a rebel prophet—and a world teacher. His talks have inspired millions of people across the globe on the path of self-evolution.
One of the most well-known and original spiritual philosophers and mystics of recent times, Osho, formerly Rajneesh, drew from all the major faith systems of the world for his discourses. Acknowledging the profound influence of his revolutionary approach to the science of inner transformation, The Sunday Times described him as one of the ‘1000 Makers of the 20th Century’ and Mid-Day included him in its list of ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Osho’s books are transcribed from recordings of talks he gave over a period of thirty-five years. All his books and audio lectures are international bestsellers.
