You were asking for responses to your “The Final Call” and I did not want to react but rather respond, so time was given for the response to crystallize...
Many of us know Pythagoras’ famous theorem in geometry but few of us are aware that he also traveled extensively in search of truth, learning from many mystery schools. Being both mathematician and mystic, he was the first enlightened person to experiment with creating a synthesis between science and mysticism. So Pythagoras is a man close to Osho’s heart. With this understanding that materialism and spirituality – East and West, body and soul – exist together, as complementary parts of a harmonious whole.
All that remains of Pythagoras’ mystical teachings are these Golden Verses of Pythagoras, on which Osho expands, given us insights into Pythagoras’ profound understanding of the mysteries of existence, and his commonsense approach of life.
Osho also responds to seekers’ questions. Speaking with authority, clarity, sharpness and humor, his insights address both the timeless and timely concerns that tend to escape our notice in the clamor and overload of daily life.
“Pythagoras is almost an archetype the seeker for truth par excellence a person who devoted his whole life to finding Philosophia Perennis, the perennial philosophy of life. The possibility exists in everybody; it has to be actualized.” OSHO
