There was an earlier edtion mentioned: The Long and the Short and the All, 1975, Publisher: Motilal Banarsidass Publishers, Delhi. No information on edition, nr. of pages.

Removed, as I have not found any source for this. -- Sugit (talk) 11:36, 2 December 2013 (PST)


Neeten mentions this earlier edition in his Osho Source Book Bibliography section. -- Sarlo (talk) 10:53, 11 August 2014 (PDT)

Hindi first edition English first edition notes
Prem Ke Pankh (प्रेम के पंख) ("Wings of Love") Wings of Love and Random Thoughts Hindi text not available
Naye Sanket (नये संकेत) Wings of Love and Random Thoughts Hindi text not available
Main Kaun Hun? (मैं कौन हूं?) (writings) Who Am I
Agyat Ki Or (अज्ञात की ओर) Towards the Unknown
Main Mrityu Sikhata Hun (मैं मृत्यु सिखाता हूं), ch.1 & 2 The Mysteries of Life and Death All editions have the same text.
We were not able to trace the English texts back to Main Kaun Hun, with the help of Google Translate. Probably translation is too crude, and the editing too strong for this.
So, for now, we are not able to assign Hindi event-names (i.e. on the level of chapters) to these writings, except for The Mysteries of Life and Death.
It was possible though to trace the text of The Long back to it's English sources.
All of the contents of the above English books has been found in The Long except one: Wings ch.4 #038 :
"Dharma means death -- death of the self. How can he whose self is dead attain the universal? Shake off the ego. Give up self-worship. Eschewing self-worship is the worship of the Supreme Soul."
In the table below, the decimal chapter-numbers (first column "parts") are just for indicating the order, there are no numbers in the book.
The chapters mentioned with source "Wings" is the 5 chapter-arrangement used on the CD-ROM. The book itself (1979) has 2 chapters: "Wings of Love" (CD-ROM ch.1 & 2) and "Random Thoughts" (CD-ROM ch.3, 4 & 5).
The #numbers mentioned are the numbers of the "Random Thoughts", used in both book and CD-ROM.
