The Perfect Way
- A beautiful introduction to Osho's unique vision, and a personal invitation to meditation. In his inimitably poetic style, Osho invites the reader to wake up from the spiritual sleep in which most of humanity is immersed. These talks are from his first meditation camp at Ranakpur in the hills of Rajasthan, and a subsequent camp** in Ajol, Gujarat, India. Here are guided meditation techniques suitable for those new to meditation and seasoned seekers alike, as well as responses to questions.
- translated from
- Hindi : Sadhana Path (साधना पथ)
