Osho speaks about the importance of the soul, and distancing oneself from material life and trivial things, and tells you, "Remember, always and forever, that what is important is what was with your soul and remains so after its liberation from the prison of the body. This means that, except for meditation and awareness, nothing is important, for death cannot overcome awareness, and awareness is the companion and friend of the soul (. . .) Love and giving remain with you wherever you go, and wherever you are They are your true wealth, and meditation makes you richer." The book comprises eleven chapters, each containing a piece of wisdom Osho wished to impart. It is the culmination of the experiences and lessons learned by individuals who endured hardship, and his teachings, or rather his philosophy of life, serve as a soothing balm for those who seek it. Among the chapter titles are: "The Art of Living," "On Love," "On Relationships," "On Stress and Relaxation," "On the Ego," "On Meditation," "On Right and Wrong," "Religion, Responsibility, and Commitment," "Creativity," "On Laughter and Joy," and "On East and West."
