🌸 The Book of Woman — Osho’s Vision of the Eternal Feminine
There are books written about women, and then there are books that breathe the essence of womanhood.
Osho’s The Book of Woman does not describe women — it reveals womanhood itself.
It does not analyze; it awakens.
It does not speak to women; it speaks as the feminine energy of existence.
Osho does not speak like a reformer or a preacher. He speaks like a mirror —
reflecting the beauty, strength, tenderness, and mystery that woman carries within her being.
In this book, he is not defending women; he is defending existence itself, for he sees woman as its purest expression.
🌿 The Forgotten Divinity of the Feminine
Osho begins with a simple but revolutionary insight — that woman is not to be compared with man. Comparison is violence; it is a way of reducing the infinite to the measurable.
The feminine and the masculine are not two species, they are two dimensions of the same cosmic energy.
He says, “Man is logic; woman is love. Man is mind; woman is heart. Man is direction; woman is depth.” They are not rivals; they are complements. Together they form the wholeness of life. When they are divided, humanity suffers; when they are united, creation celebrates.
In this world dominated by intellect and competition, Osho reminds us that the feminine principle has been suppressed — and with that suppression, mankind has lost its soul.
To understand woman, he says, is to restore balance to the universe.
🌸 Woman as the Source of Life
In Osho’s vision, woman is not secondary to man. She is not a reflection, not an appendix — she is the very womb of existence. All that is born, all that grows, all that breathes — has passed through her silence.
He says,
“The woman is closer to nature, closer to life, closer to the mysteries of creation.
Her body knows how to create life; her heart knows how to nurture it; her being knows how to dissolve in it.”
When a woman gives birth, she participates in the divine act of creation. Her motherhood is not biological only; it is spiritual. Through giving birth, she touches eternity — she becomes a passage through which the invisible becomes visible.
Osho celebrates this ability not as a function but as a meditation. To be a mother, he says, is not to be bound by duty but to open oneself to the dance of life itself.
🌿 Love — The Language of the Feminine
For Osho, love is not emotion; it is intelligence.But it is a different kind of intelligence — one that feels instead of analyzing, that accepts instead of arguing, that melts instead of conquering.
He says, “Love is the natural fragrance of the feminine being.” A woman does not love because she is trained to; she loves because she cannot help it. Her love is not logical — it is existential.
Through love, a woman transcends herself. When she loves, she disappears into the other — and that disappearance is her freedom, not her bondage. Man often mistakes this surrender as weakness, but Osho calls it the highest strength, because only one who is vast can afford to dissolve.
The world has taught women to become competitive, to imitate men, to prove themselves in the same language of power and reason. Osho warns — in doing so, woman loses her essence. Her real revolution is not in becoming like man, but in bringing the fragrance of love, softness, and sensitivity back into a hard, mechanical world.
🌺 Woman and the Journey Inward
Osho’s understanding of woman goes beyond sociology or psychology. He speaks from meditation, from silence. He says that woman’s journey is inward by nature.
Man’s energy moves outward — he builds, conquers, explores. Woman’s energy moves inward — she absorbs, receives, transforms. Hence, he says, meditation comes to woman more naturally.
“Man has to learn to be silent; woman already knows.
Man has to learn to surrender; woman is born surrendered.”
When a woman turns inward, she becomes a mystic. She doesn’t have to fight her mind — she only has to relax into her being. In that relaxation, awareness flowers.
That is why, Osho says, so many women in his communes reached deep states of meditation without struggle, without renunciation — simply by being.
🌿 Sexuality — The Sacred Door
One of Osho’s most courageous insights in The Book of Woman is his approach to sexuality. He calls sex the beginning of the spiritual journey — not its enemy.
The suppression of sex, he says, has destroyed woman’s natural joy. For centuries she has been taught to feel guilty about her body, to treat pleasure as sin, to see herself through the eyes of condemnation. Osho tears down this false morality.
He says,
“The woman who knows her body without guilt,
who loves without shame,
who celebrates without fear —
she is already divine.”
For him, sexuality is sacred because it is the most intimate meeting of two energies.
In deep union, the body disappears, and what remains is pure ecstasy — the same ecstasy that saints call samadhi.
Woman, he says, can reach that state more easily, because she knows how to dissolve, how to flow, how to become one with the beloved without losing herself.

🌸 The Conditioning of Society
Throughout history, Osho observes, woman has been treated as property, as possession, as shadow. Every culture — whether Eastern or Western — has found refined ways of enslaving her. Sometimes through religion, sometimes through marriage, sometimes through love itself.
He says,
“The woman has been imprisoned so beautifully that she began to decorate her chains.”
Her freedom was called rebellion; her individuality was labeled sin.
She was taught to serve — and to feel proud in serving. But service without consciousness is slavery.
Osho’s book is not an argument against men; it is an argument against unconsciousness.
He is not against man — he is against the idea that one gender can dominate another. Domination, he says, is ugliness. Freedom is beauty. And true freedom begins not in society, but in the heart.
🌿 Motherhood, Marriage, and Meditation
Osho redefines every institution connected with womanhood. Motherhood, he says, should be a conscious choice, not a duty. A mother who meditates gives birth to a new kind of child — a child who will live in freedom, not fear.
Marriage, according to him, should be a meeting of two independent souls, not a contract of ownership. If love is there, marriage is beautiful. If love disappears, continuing it out of fear or duty is hypocrisy.
He says,
“A woman should never be forced to stay in a dead relationship.
Her first responsibility is towards her own being.”
And meditation — he calls it the ultimate marriage within oneself.
When woman meditates,
she unites her inner feminine and masculine energies.
Then she no longer depends on the other to feel whole.
She becomes complete — like a full moon in her own sky.
🌸 The Rebirth of the Feminine
The Book of Woman is not merely about gender — it is about the awakening of a new humanity. Osho envisions a world where the feminine qualities of love, intuition, playfulness, and creativity guide our collective life.
He says,
“The future belongs not to man, not to woman, but to the feminine.”
The feminine is fluid, receptive, artistic, compassionate.
It listens instead of commands, feels instead of fights.
When these qualities blossom, humanity will heal from centuries of aggression and war.
He does not want women to rule the world — he wants feminine energy to balance the world. That balance, he says, will come when man learns to be a little more womanly, and woman learns to respect her own tenderness as strength.
🌿 Osho’s Language — The Poetry of Truth
Reading The Book of Woman is like listening to music that is both gentle and explosive.
Osho’s words are not lectures; they are living vibrations. He speaks with laughter and compassion, with rebellion and grace.
He does not quote scriptures; he creates his own scripture out of experience. Every page feels like a meditation — sometimes shocking, sometimes soothing, but always awakening.
His logic is sharp like a sword, and yet his heart is as soft as a flower. That combination — of clarity and compassion — is what makes this book timeless.
🌸 A Message for Both Genders
Though the title says The Book of Woman, this book is for both man and woman —because to understand woman is to understand half of yourself.
Man carries a woman within him — the anima. Woman carries a man within — the animus. Unless these two are in harmony, no one can be whole.
Osho invites both to learn from each other — for man to rediscover the heart, and for woman to reclaim her inner freedom.
He says,
“When man and woman meet in consciousness,
not in dependence,
love becomes divine.”
🌿 Conclusion — Beyond Gender, Into Grace
In the end, The Book of Woman is not about feminism or patriarchy. It is about transcendence. It is about going beyond the labels of man and woman and realizing the eternal dance of energies within.
Osho does not offer solutions; he offers awareness. He does not promise liberation through revolution, but through meditation. He does not teach women to fight; he teaches them to wake up — because in wakefulness, all oppression dissolves.
He says,
“The woman who meditates becomes so radiant,
so full of joy,
that no man can enslave her.
Her very presence is freedom.”
And that is the ultimate message of this book — to bring woman back to her center, to bring humanity back to its heart.
🌺 In Essence
The Book of Woman is not just to be read;
it is to be felt, absorbed, lived. It is a mirror for every woman to rediscover her forgotten divinity, and for every man to remember the beauty of surrender, compassion, and love.
Osho gives back to woman her sacredness — not as worship, not as superiority, but as truth.
“Woman is not to be understood,” he says.
“She is to be loved,
and through that love,
you will understand life itself.”
