Summary: Are you kidding me?
Review: This book is easily enough to make anyone's head split. Osho is always so beautiful to read and this is the good stuff! The insight into humanity in this book alone would be enough to make anyone a legend in the history of the world. If I had one book to take with me as a continued reminder toward enlightment, this would be it. But, I can have as many as I want, so I don't worry much about that....

Summary: A copy of "The Book of Secrets" ought to be in every home.
Review: This book is intruiging and enlightening. It manages to sound transcendental without becoming too theoretical or preachy. The reader feels as though Osho is actually speaking to him personally. Osho takes you on fantastic journey into the heart of being, even if you've never been especially interested in Eastern religion and philosophy, this book could change your life. There is something here for everyone.

Summary: Techniques for breaking through the veil of illusion
Review: This book, more than any other that I have found, provides simple practical techniques (112 of them) for breaking through the veil of illusion and entering truth. While the techniques are simple and profound, the author has written over 1,100 pages of commentary that provide context and insight. This is a very readable book. It is the right book for me now. Interestingly, many of its techniques are ones that I had practiced on my own without knowing from whence they came or why I was practicing them. You do not need to believe anything in particular for this book to work for you. It is both practical and insightful. All 112 techniques are listed in the back of the book with page references. Pick the technique that most calls to you and practice it for a while or follow the book sequentially from page 1. I highly recommend this book for those who are seeking transformation and a new consciousness. Enter into peace and love and joy...and be peace and love and joy

Summary: food for thought
Review: This is a great book covering many areas of spirituality. I liked his treatment of sex. This book and An Encounter With A Prophet removed my guilt about sex and helped me get closer to God at the same time.

Summary: Simply Stunning
Review: This is the book that changed my life, or turned it around. Brought a whole new synthesis. I started w/ the 3rd volume (included here) at first, but it's all great. Work your way past the first hundred or so pages with patience if you want the more purely philosophical stuff. Or as Osho would say, "philosia" -- love of seeing (not of sophistry). He knows the rituals, the chakras, the whole bit, but this is the breath of conceptual tantra. Many lives probably led him to this wisdom. This is where the modern-day tantra craze should have remained. Now it's gone on to yoga, yoga, yoga -- what, people got fed up with sex? Most likely repression reared its ugly (sometimes necessary) head. Don't go for the abridged cassettes, buy the book. It's something you may want to reread too. It's all about self-acceptance... and THESE ARE LIVE TRANSCRIBED DISCOURSES, to correct some other reviewers who are saying he wrote this stuff.

Summary: A Wonder Book with 112 Golden Keys to Nirvana!
Review: When I first read this book I could not believe these kinds of wonder books still exist in our world! On these simple looking techniques Osho pours his wisdom and understanding and make them praciciable by any normal human person. This book is my spiritual companion. And Osho's understanding of tantra is very enlightening. I do not think any body in this world has made so much contribution to the body of tantra as Osho has done. A must read book for the seeker of the path.

Summary: Enlightenment is Relative but Osho had the goods
Review: Yes, Osho got in big trouble sexually and financially here in the US, but that doesn't mean that the principles he advocated in his books were flawed. Enlightenment isn't always portable. American society is known for its ability to produce trance states more related to materialism than spirituality and this is especially true of immigrants unused to its seductive power. For an amusing look at the impact of Americans going to India in the 60's read Gita Mehta's "Karma Cola".

You certainly can't compare OSHO to someone like the Dali Lama, but the fact that he didn't maintain a lifestyle in keeping with third world spirituality is perhaps his greatest contribution to the American understanding of eastern principles. His was able to write in a clear and concise American style about principles which are antithetical to the American reality. He wrote with a full knowledge and compassion of how seductive life here can be...In this way The Book of Secrets is not just another tome delivered by someone looking down from a position of study and fasting...but a useful life manual delivered from a position of immersion.
