The path to freedom is a path fraught with questions and uncertainty. Is it possible to know who we are? Does our life have a purpose, or are we merely an accident? What does it mean to participate? What does it mean to become, to create, to participate? In Understanding, Osho, one of the most provocative thinkers of our time, challenges us to understand our world and ourselves in a new and radical way. He argues that the first step toward understanding begins with questioning and questioning everything we have been taught as truths we are supposed to believe. All our lives, we have been handed so-called truths—truths from countless others—and held beliefs we have been taught to accept without reason. Only by questioning our beliefs, assumptions, and biases can we begin to uncover our unique voice and repair the divisions within and without. Once we discover our authentic selves, we can embrace all aspects of the human experience, from the materialistic, pleasure-loving qualities of Zorba the Greek to the alert, silent qualities of Gautama Buddha. We can become whole and live with integrity, able to respond creatively and compassionately to the religious, political, and cultural divisions that currently plague our societies. In this groundbreaking work, Osho identifies, softens, and ultimately helps untie the knots of fear and misunderstanding that bind us—leaving us free to discover and create our individual path to freedom.
