Neti-Neti (नेति-नेति)
- 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:Neti_neti. 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, plus two single-discourse early booklets. The series are, in chronological order:
- And the booklets, whose dates are not known, ~ late 60's:
- notes
- Order of the parts of Neti-Neti follows the order of the component smaller books as above, as do the chapters within those books. The seventh chapter of Shunya Ki Naav has been omitted from most editions of Neti-Neti, having been lost for years. It is said to have been found for the most recent edition.
- Only Satya Ki Khoj and Shunya Ki Naav have been translated into English, the others not.
- For a TOC and more on dates, places, alt-titles, sources, etc, see discussion. And though it may not be easy to find in hard copy, Neti-Neti is available in audio and e-book form as Neti-Neti, ie not under the component names.
- Ch.12-18 published as Sambhavnaon Ki Aahat (सम्भावनाओं की आहट).
