A Review of Osho: The Book of Secrets
When Ancient Silence Speaks to the Modern Mind
Some books are read with the eyes. Some with the intellect. And a very rare few are read with one’s entire being. The Book of Secrets belongs to this rarest category. It is not a book that adds something to your mind; it is a book that removes—layers, dust, noise, centuries of confusion. What remains after reading it is not knowledge, but space.
This book is not meant to be consumed quickly. It resists speed. It resists ambition. It resists the modern habit of turning wisdom into information. The Book of Secrets waits. It waits for the reader to slow down, to breathe, to listen—not to words, but to what happens between words.
Osho does not present secrets as hidden facts. He presents them as forgotten doors within you. The book does not promise miracles. It offers something far more radical: clarity.
Not a Scripture, Not a Philosophy — A Living Map
What makes The Book of Secrets extraordinary is that it refuses to become an ideology. It does not demand belief. It does not ask for surrender to authority. It invites experiment.
The foundation of this book lies in ancient tantric wisdom, yet Osho strips tantra of superstition, ritualism, and secrecy. He brings it naked into the modern world—not as a belief system, but as a science of inner exploration.
Unlike philosophical texts that debate truth, this book insists that truth must be experienced, not argued. Osho repeatedly emphasizes that no method is universal. What works for one consciousness may be poison for another. Hence, this book does something unprecedented: it offers 112 different doors—112 approaches toward the same center.
This alone makes the book revolutionary. It respects human diversity. It does not impose a single path. It says, in essence: You are unique. Your way inward must also be unique.
Osho’s Voice: Compassion Without Compromise
Osho’s language in The Book of Secrets carries a rare balance—gentle, yet uncompromising. He speaks with immense compassion, but he never softens truth to make it palatable. His words do not console the ego; they challenge it.
He dismantles spiritual ambition with humor. He exposes false seekers with kindness. He speaks of enlightenment not as a distant goal, but as an available possibility, here and now—if one dares to drop the unnecessary struggle.
There is a deep playfulness in his style. He laughs at seriousness. He punctures spiritual arrogance. And yet, behind the laughter, there is an immense stillness. Reading him feels like sitting near a fire that is warm, not burning—but it burns illusions effortlessly.
Secrets That Are Not Hidden — Only Ignored
The title may mislead the casual reader. These are not secrets hidden in caves or reserved for initiates. Osho makes it clear that the greatest secret is astonishingly simple: we have forgotten how to be present.
According to this book, the human mind lives either in memory or imagination—past or future—rarely here. And because truth exists only in the present, we keep missing it.
The techniques described in The Book of Secrets are not complicated. They are subtle. Their power lies not in effort, but in attention. Watching the breath. Observing a gap between thoughts. Feeling an emotion fully without naming it. Entering silence through sound. Entering stillness through movement.
These methods do not ask you to escape life. They ask you to enter it totally.
Tantra Reimagined for Modern Consciousness
One of the most misunderstood words in spiritual literature is “tantra.” Osho rescues it from centuries of distortion. He shows tantra not as indulgence, not as ritualized sexuality, but as a deep acceptance of life.
In The Book of Secrets, tantra is not against the world. It is not life-denying. It does not escape the body; it honors it. The body becomes a gateway, not an obstacle. Sensation becomes a teacher, not a temptation.
Osho repeatedly emphasizes that repression has crippled humanity. By condemning the body, we have condemned awareness itself. Tantra, as presented here, heals this split. It unites body and consciousness, matter and meditation, earth and sky.
For readers burdened by guilt, shame, or spiritual conflict, this perspective feels like liberation. Not because it gives permission to indulge, but because it restores innocence.
A Book That Meets You Where You Are
One of the rare strengths of The Book of Secrets is its inclusiveness. Whether you are intellectual or emotional, active or silent, devotional or analytical—there is something here for you.
Osho does not ask you to change your temperament. He asks you to understand it.
Some techniques are for those who love silence. Some for those who cannot sit still. Some involve breath, some sound, some movement, some observation. The book respects human variety instead of forcing uniformity.
This makes it deeply humane. It acknowledges that consciousness has many doors—and none is superior.
No Promise of Enlightenment — Only a Path of Awareness
Unlike commercial spiritual literature, The Book of Secrets does not promise enlightenment as a product. Osho warns repeatedly against spiritual greed. He reminds the reader that seeking enlightenment as a goal can be the greatest obstacle.
Awareness, according to Osho, is not something to be achieved. It is something to be remembered.
This book gently but firmly removes the illusion of progress. It shifts focus from becoming to being. From tomorrow to now. From effort to relaxation.
And in this relaxation, something begins to flower naturally—without force, without ambition.
The Courage This Book Demands
This is not a safe book.
It asks you to drop borrowed beliefs.
It asks you to question religious conditioning.
It asks you to face your inner noise.
It asks you to sit with yourself without distraction.
Many readers may feel discomfort. That discomfort is not a flaw of the book; it is its function. Growth is never comfortable. Truth is rarely convenient.
Osho does not provide emotional anesthesia. He provides awareness. And awareness has a sharp edge—it cuts illusion cleanly.

A Living Companion, Not a One-Time Read
The Book of Secrets is not meant to be read from beginning to end like a novel. It is meant to be lived with. Open any page. Sit with a single technique for weeks, months. Let it sink into your daily life.
Each return to the book feels different because you are different. As consciousness deepens, the same words reveal new dimensions.
This quality gives the book longevity. It does not age. It grows with the reader.
Why This Book Is More Relevant Than Ever
Modern humanity is overstimulated, distracted, exhausted. Minds are crowded. Attention spans are fragmented. Anxiety has become normal.
The Book of Secrets offers not escape, but centering. Not solutions, but roots. In a world obsessed with answers, it teaches the art of listening.
At a time when spirituality is often packaged, simplified, and marketed, this book stands uncompromisingly authentic. It refuses shortcuts. It honors depth.
Who Should Read This Book?
This book is for:
- Those who seek experience rather than belief
- Those who sense that truth must be lived, not preached
- Those who are ready to explore inwardly without fear
It is not for those looking for quick results. It is not for those addicted to certainty. It is not for those who want authority to think for them.
Final Words: An Invitation, Not a Conclusion
The Book of Secrets does not end with answers. It ends with silence. And that silence is its greatest gift.
To buy this book is not to purchase information. It is to accept an invitation—to slow down, to look inward, to rediscover something profoundly simple that has always been yours.
This is not a book that makes you spiritual. It removes what prevents you from being natural.
If you are ready to listen deeply, If you are ready to meet yourself without masks, If you are ready to step beyond noise into awareness—
Then The Book of Secrets is not just a book. It is a doorway. And the key has always been in your hands.
