As a newer sannyasin, I find the original texts to be more in the spirit of Osho’s original message.

Historically, it is wonderful to see the photos and format that he approved before the books were first published. It allows me to feel closer to him in spirit and feel as part of the sannyasin community as a whole.

As a musician, for one to sanitize the original music of Elvis (remember Pat Boone?) and take the blues music that influenced him out of the equation and historical time period, would take the true heart and soul out of the music itself.

Thus, the same with the words of Osho. I am thrilled that original versions of his work are still available to someone like myself. I prefer them over the newer versions for many aesthetic reasons (visually, tactilely, etc.).

Someone mentioned Shakespeare….id like to quote one of the bard’s works, which feels relevant to all the blah blah …Much Ado about Nothing….

Chapter 21 tallies on my PDF and my American paperback.

Didn’t realise there was a second volume.
Mustard seed contains a chapter, ‘riding two horses,’ which zapped me the first time I read it and has never gone away.

Arps.

You have Vol 1 which seems to tally.

The hardback includes Vol 2

And its the last chapter from Vol 2 that is missing from the PDF.

From an American Paperback published in the seventies,
which is the same as the PDF version I have.

Swami Anubodh,
There is no someone but a real one; the one and the only jayesh!
Without decoding the mysterious phenomenon called Jayesh, at least the whole sannyas movement will go on chasing the shadows.
And for the rest of the world, it does not matter.

It must be understood, that Osho’s texts must be adjusted gradually to the common Hermetic regime, for a coming future according materialist understanding. Please don’t resist and follow the Order. Do not doubt and don’t believe like any other modern materialist.

I agree with this Dhanyam,
but given pretty much everybody
whose involved with Osho is a
perfectionist in one way or
other, the chance of varying
degrees of tinkering with anything
and everything, all the time;
stopping, is nil.
