Zorba the Buddha

The following is from the The Book of Understanding. Though I do not agree with some of Osho's preachings (esp. his explanations on non-existence of God in conventional sense, and excessive liberalism in the name of freedom), I am very impressed by his teachings on pursuit of spirituality. He was very eloquent with his arguments.
Freedom from the outside does not come by escaping. Freedom from the outside comes by living it totally, and then there is nowhere else to go. Only one dimension remains, and it is natural that you would like to search in that remaining dimension. And there is your buddhahood, your enlightenment.
