What is the wisdom of the sands? "Allow yourself to be absorbed in the wind," says Osho. He clarifies the Sufi approach to religiousness, which is to become part of the mystery of existence by living meditatively, being total, and transcending experience itself. These commentaries do not carry a philosophical message, but are a gesture towards a world beyond philosophy. Osho describes one of the stories within this collection as belonging to the "very foundation of religious consciousness." Deceptively simple, these Sufi tales have a deeper, underlying significance, and Osho makes it manifest for all to see. These stories are not for those who want entertainment, he shows us, but for those who seek illumination.
