The Perfect Way

The book you hold in your hand, or are just ordering from an online store, is a unique book. It is the first book by the contemporary mystic Osho. At the beginning of his public life, Osho, who is at that time a professor of philosophy at Jabalpur University, introduces people to a new and unique understanding of meditation during experiential meditation camps.

He speaks to the participants and responds to questions. This book is the first published record of Osho's first meditation camp in Rajasthan, India. In fifteen small chapters, he gives a condensed presentation of his understanding of meditation, which he then elaborates in many more talks and publications—but the essential message is already available in this book.

Osho speaks to the individual, not to a collective, not the abstract collective of humanity, or a collective defined by religion, nationality, or race but to individuals as the core element of existence. We used one of his opening comments as a longer quote on the front cover of the book as it seemed so important: "The individual is the unit of the whole and it is through him that both evolution and revolution can take place. You are that unit."
