What does it mean to be simultaneously grounded and free? Roots and Wings: Talks on Zen presents a series of discourses by the provocative and visionary spiritual teacher Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, in which he unpacks the ancient wisdom of Zen Buddhism through his own electrifying lens, challenging listeners and readers to abandon conditioned thinking and discover the boundless freedom that lies within. Compiled by Ma Krishna Pria and edited by Swami Krishna Prem, the work captures the spontaneous, conversational energy of Rajneesh's celebrated talks, making profound metaphysical territory feel immediate and alive. The central paradox of the title — roots as grounding in awareness, wings as the capacity for transcendence — threads through every discourse, forming a cohesive vision of what Rajneesh argues is the true purpose of human existence. Rajneesh, later known as Osho, was one of the 20th century's most controversial and intellectually restless spiritual figures, and his style here is characteristically bold: disarming in its humour, uncompromising in its critique of organised religion, and rich with paradox and koan-like insight. Published by the distinguished house of Routledge & Kegan Paul, this edition bridges Eastern philosophical tradition with a Western readership hungry for alternative spiritual frameworks. Whether you arrive as a seasoned student of Zen or a curious newcomer, these talks promise to unsettle your certainties — and leave you wondering where your own roots end and your wings begin.
