If you were to tell a ten year old Jiyaan that by the ripe old age of thirteen he would be writing a Preface to his to-be-published collection of poems, he would have laughed out loud (also, he would have first asked you what preface meant). Alas, a series of unconnected events lead me to discover my love for all things poetry, which lead to this book getting its form. As the title tells you, the poems contained in this book don’t follow any singular theme or module, on the contrary, they stay here just in the way they came to me. Jumping genres, themes and forms, together forming a tapestry of ideas in my mind. There are poems about nationalism and patriotism, poems about satire, optimistic verses and thoughts that came together whilst I was observing the world around me. A lot of these came together while I was in lockdown last year, with nothing much to do but pour my thoughts on paper. Some of these might make you laugh, some ponder and some amaze, but they will all help you get a glimpse of the way I see the world around me. Together, they’re the little lake my thoughts have become, with each bringing its own vibrant hues and shades. I hope this mosaic gives you as much joy as it gave me while writing it.

Conscious evolution happens when we can connect with the subconscious on a daily basis, when we smoothly get to know what dialogue happens between both of them. This book aims to open up the doors of subconscious to understand the psychological processes, difficulties, unanswered questions, and a deviated path of unaware unhappiness. Sound mental health is misunderstood as absence of fear, depression, and anxiety. Its much more a blissful event in knowing our choices, experiencing unlimited love, a high in each moment with your breath, inner security, and self-love. The reader will always live consciously in a subconscious stage without the conformist society rules to live a fulfilled unexperienced life from now on. The conscious self-judgment, living happily myth, right and wrong childhood learnings, and lack of control will all take stability, merging both the inner and outer consciousness state. Welcome to the state of a floating world, light and free from the pretzels in your mind and heart.

The book you hold in your hand or you are just ordering from an online store is a unique book. It is the first book by the contemporary mystic Osho. At the beginning of his public life, Osho who is at that time a professor of philosophy at Jabalpur University, introduces people to a new and unique understanding of meditation during experiential meditation camps. He speaks to the participants and responds to questions. This book is the first published records of Osho's first meditation camp in Rajastan, India. In fifteen small chapters he gives a condensed presentation of his understanding of meditation which he then elaborates in many more talks and publications - but the essential message is already available in this book. Osho speaks to the individual, not to a collective, not the abstract collective of humanity, or a collective defined by religion or nationality or race but to individuals as the core element of existence. We used one of his opening comments as a longer quote on the front cover of the book as it seem so important "The individual is the unit of the whole and it is through him that both evolution and revolution can take place. You are that unit." Osho, mentions this book on several occasions in his later talks. When the second prime minister of India traveled to Russia, a copy of The Perfect Way was with him. And when someone in contact with Osho at the age of ninety stumbled upon The Perfect Way, he commented, “All my learning of the scriptures was futile, only this small book is enough.” In The Perfect Way the reader meets a human being who knows, but who also knows how to convey what he knows. His genius in full flight, he points us as far as one can with words toward the inner world of the self, toward the zone of silence. What starts on a hot summer day in the early 1960’s will prove to be the first seed of a revolutionary experiment in the flowering of human consciousness – one which will eventually transform the lives of millions of people all over the world. “To be without thoughts is meditation,” Osho says. “When there are no thoughts, it is then we come to know the one hidden by our thoughts. When there are no clouds, the blue sky is revealed.” This book is page after page of blue sky.
