The book Osho is referring to here is probably the
Shiva Sutras of Kashmir Shaivism, thought to have
been revealed to a man named Vasugupta by the
Hindu incarnation of God, Shiva--c. 900 CE.
They are 77 aphorisms supposedly shown by Shiva to
Vasugupta on a rock in the Himalayan region of
northwest India--having connections to Tantra and
Vedic ideas of that time.

| The first 3 sutras from the Kashmir Shiva Sutras: Caitanyamatma 1. Universal Consciousness is one's own nature. Jnanam Bandhah 2. Knowing the individual consciousness as one's own nature and not knowing the Universal Consciousness as one's own nature, is bondage. Yonivargah Kalasariram 3. Differentiated perception and the field of individual activities are also bondage. |
