The Ultimate Truth

We tend to use personality, individuality and self as if they meant the same thing. Seen from a spiritual angle, they are quite different, and confusing them can keep a person from understanding who they really are.

The book draws on the teachings of the Buddha, for whom what we call personality is really the ego. On this view, a spiritual journey only begins once a person learns to let that ego go. That raises practical questions. Where does the ego come from in your own life, and once you can see what feeds it, how do you loosen its hold?

In The Ultimate Truth, Osho takes up these questions and others in his characteristic style, which is simple, direct and often witty. It is a short, accessible look at the self and what lies beyond it, for readers curious about how spiritual seeking really starts.
