Notes of a Madman
- Osho creates a loosely woven tapestry of vivid, humorous and touching impressions and glimpses giving the feeling we are having a personal meeting with the master. In this deep exploration of the Tibetan mantra, Om Mani Padme Hum, he comments on drugs, his love of beauty and danger, relaxation, laughter, the relationship between men and women, and even madness and death. He is just an ordinary human being, like us, he says, but with one exception. His search has ended - he has awakened: "Just to be oneself is true. That is my teaching, just to be yourself; just to be your own purity, without fear, because it will mean different things for different people." A selection of beautiful nature photographs in full color supplements this unforgettable book.
