- Neti-Neti literally means "not this, not this," and more loosely "neither this nor that." It is used widely and traditionally as the name for a quasi-analytical method of discarding psychic debris and investments, a sort of "via negativa" tool of self-exploration, more particularly, disidentification. More about this can be found at Wikipedia. Osho sprinkles the phrase liberally in both Hindi and English discourses, so a book with this as its title has a lot to live up to. This is that book, created from four of Osho's early series of talks, three of them given at Meditation Camps. They are:
- notes
- Order of the chapters of Neti Neti seems to follow the order of the component smaller books as above and within those books. Only Satya Ki Khoj has been translated into English, the others not.
