The Sun Rises in the Evening

"I HAVE SEEN THE SUN RISING IN THE EVENING, and since then I have been drunk with that which is. You can call it God, you can call it nirvana, you can call it any name—it does not matter. Whether you give it a name or you don’t give it, it remains the same. A rose is a rose is a rose. But one thing is certain about it: that the sun rises in the evening..." - Osho, opening sentence of this book.

Osho talks about the Shodoka sutras, the Song of Enlightenment, by Zen master Yoka Daishi.
