It seems that this book and its companions, Series II, Series III and The ABC (deriving from them), are more properly Osho-"written" compilations than books "about" Osho. I would re-categorize them myself but haven't much time and the whole format / template would have to be changed ("book" rather than "sanbook"). -- [[User:Sarlo|Sarlo]] ([[User talk:Sarlo|talk]]) 08:57, 24 March 2014 (PDT) | It seems that this book and its companions, Series II, Series III and The ABC (deriving from them), are more properly Osho-"written" compilations than books "about" Osho.

I consider ''The Book'' a work by sannyasins about Osho because it contains "definitions" of terms, almost like a piecemeal philosophy.

I would say, whenever we use Osho quotes to construct a mind set about Him or the world, it should stay in the Sannyas Bibliography.
