According to Osho, amongst the many scriptures, none are comparable to the Gita of Ashtavakra. He says, ‘Before it the Vedas pale, the Upanishads are a mere whisper. Even the Bhagavad Gita does not have the majesty found in the Ashtavakra Samhita—it is simply unparalleled.’ Enlightenment is the distillation of the teachings of Ashtavakra Samhita. To understand it is to understand the essential elements of life.
