The Wisdom of the Sands, Vol 1

What is the wisdom of the sands? "Allow yourself to be absorbed in the wind," says Osho. He clarifies the Sufi approach to religiousness, which is to become part of the mystery of existence by living meditatively, being total, and transcending experience itself. These commentaries do not carry a philosophical message, but are a gesture towards a world beyond philosophy.
