A Lotus of Emptiness

This book begins with a story of Rabia and Hasan. Osho talks about Rabia : Rabia el Adawiya is one of the rarest women in the whole human history. There are only a few names that can be compared to Rabia, but still she remains rare, even among these few names-Meera, Theresa, Lalla. These are the few names. But Rabia still remains rare. She is a Kohinoor, the most precious woman ever born. Her insight is immense. This book contains Osho's talks on such rare Sufi stories, that reading them is an experience of transformation, one is transported to another world-unknown and the unknowable.
