Rebellion, Revolution and Religion

About the book

In Rebellion, Revolution and Religion, Osho questions historical attempts to transform society without transforming the human being.

For the author, reform changes only appearances, while revolution alters political, economic and social structures but leaves ambition, violence, fear and the thirst for power intact. The old mechanisms of domination therefore often return under new names.

True change begins with inner rebellion: freedom from conditioning, imposed beliefs and authorities that prevent individuals from living consciously. This rebellion is not against someone else, but against everything false within us.

Provocative and visionary, this book argues that religion and rebellion may be two names for the same awakening: the birth of a free, responsible, meditative human being capable of participating in the creation of a new society.
