The Search

Human beings have an inbuilt drive to search for the inner power that is needed to reach our true potential. It’s a search for the origins and meaning of life itself. We are aware of our life and the energy it encompasses – but we don’t know where it comes from or where it is going.

An ancient Zen story symbolizes the search for the source of this life and energy. Zen master Kakuan’s story of The Ten Bulls of Zen is a teaching that uses ten images, each representing a particular step on the journey of experiencing and understanding what it means to be a conscious and aware human being.

In this book, Osho takes us through this story and divulges its lessons for all travellers on this journey into the inner world – that’s what meditation is all about, according to him. But reaching the pure, uncluttered freedom of meditation is not the end. The circle is only complete when the seeker comes back into the rigours of the world as a transformed person. This book is for everyone who is on a journey for the search.
