| The Way of Tao Vol. 2 (of 2) talks on the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu translation from Hindi ताओ उपनिषद Tao Upanishad by Osho 21 talks given live Jan. – Feb. 1972 India |
Life is not plain mathematics. Rather, life is an enigma. It is also not a logical arrangement. Rather it is a mystery. The path of mathematics is straight and clear; riddles are never straight and clear. The solution of logic lies hidden in its seed. Logic never leads to anything new. Mystery always goes beyond itself. Lao Tzu is investigating this mystery in these sutras. We can understand it in two ways. If we were to imagine a person traversing a path which is absolutely straight, we can see that he will never return to the starting point of his journey. But if his path is circular, he is bound to return to the point from where he began. A circular path leads back to the beginning of the journey... – Osho The Way of Tao, Vol. 2, ch. 1 |
