Osho describes the era of Zen as a time when simplicity of life was a cultural reality. Today, humanity is caught up in the mad complexity of the mind, and, as never before, there is an urgent need to rediscover simplicity and innocence. He brings to life the inherent and timeless wisdom of traditional Zen stories. In alternate discourses anything goes in a question-and- response game between Osho and seekers as they pose questions such as: Can a woman really drive a man crazy? Why are you called 'the sex guru'? I don't see any purpose in meditation...?
