Osho World and osho.com present the series in two different ways, as below, in their audiobook offerings. At least #1-5 are the same, though the order is a little strange in the second. Perhaps most interesting is something that came to light when researching Surya Ki Or Udan (सूर्य की ओर उड़ान). That title is also the title of discourse #6 in Osho World's offering.

Okay, series / book titles are (re-)used all the time for discourse / chapter titles, like no big deal, eh? Well, as it happens, the title of discourse #7 also seems to be recycled, from an even more obscure book(let) than Surya. Both come apparently from the same era, published by the late 60's. Both are cited by Gyan Bhed and Rajneesh: The Mystic of Feeling, by Osho's long-time friend Ram Chandra Prasad (and both re-cited by Neeten (see Osho Source Book link at his page)). In Prasad's book, the citations are as abbreviations used in footnotes, ie significant books referred to often enough to merit these abbreviations.

Whatever. It seems to me that a body of circumstantial evidence is building that these titles may have been added to Path Ki Khoj in error. No other audio site has audio for either of these titles, and only Osho World has more than five discourses for Path Ki Khoj. And both titles come from a similar place, so that they come together may be a little suspicious. Either a mistake or brilliant and unique, take yer pick. Or listen to Osho World's audiobook and find copies of Surya and Amantran and compare them with the audio. (Good luck with that.) -- updated Sarlo (talk) 00:47, 27 August 2014 (PDT)
