ZARATHUSTRA: THE LAUGHING PROPHET

In this book Osho, the enlightened master from the East, meets Friedrich Nietzsche, a mystical visionary from the West. Nietzsche was a serious and dedicated philosopher – serious about his work, and dedicated to the Truth. He was a man with tremendous visionary insight – that which was capable of jumping beyond not just the accepted but also beyond the acceptable limits of his days.

Had Nietzsche been born in the East, particularly in India, he might have become enlightened but the West has never quite understood that consciousness can transcend mind. In his creative genius, Nietzsche sought out a great master from the past, Zarathustra, and wrote of him in a way which enabled him to project all his longing, his vision, all his yearning to break out of what had become an intolerable prison.

In this book, Osho dissolves Nietzsche’s seriousness into his own inexhaustible joy, transforming Zarathustra into a laughing prophet.
