In these seventeen discourses Osho uses the ancient wisdom of the Adhyatma Upanishad as a jumping board for his message for a humanity moving faster and faster towards who knows what, at the dawning of the twenty-first century. “…The Upanishads have, for the first time, used a scientific language and have left aside the anthropocentric language of man.” These ancient sutras are usually presented in the format of master-disciple dialogue. The Adhyatma Upanishad varies this format in that it is the disciple himself who is speaking prior to self-realization ad detailing his understanding ad the steps o the way to enlightenment. Osho says, in speaking of the unnamed seeker, “This is way I have chosen this Upanishad. This Upanishad is a direct encounter with spirituality. There are no doctrines in it; there are only experiences of the fulfilled ones… in it there is no discussion of that which is born out of curiosity or inquisitiveness, no; in it there are hints to those who are full of longing for liberation from those who have already attained liberation…. “I will say only that which I know, which I have lived. If you agree to put all at stake, whatever is my experience can also become yours. Experiences do not belong to anyone,; they come to whoever is ready to receive them. Nobody has any monopoly over the truth; whosoever is willing to disappear inherits it. Truth belongs to one who shows the readiness to ask for it—who opens the doors of their heart and calls for it…. “I will say to you only that which I know, because only in saying that lies some value; because only that which I know can, if you are willing, vibrate the strings of your heart too with its living impact.” When once the question, “There must be something more than this?” has arisen in your heart, you become a seeker. This book is the story of one such seeker and his path, climaxing with a song I his heart and a dance to his being: “I am that which I have been seeking, I am the ultimate, the divine.” This dance, this song is also your birthright.
