The Book of Lieh Tzu is attributed to a 5th-century Chinese mystic. It is not known if Lieh Tzu ever existed, or if the parables attributed to him were written by one person or many. More significant than their origin are the parables themselves, and the way in which Osho takes them in hand and opens the door to the mysteries they contain. In the course of his commentary and his answers to questions, Osho speaks of Beckett and Buddha, Gurdjieff and Hitler, Einstein and Confucius. He also talks about psychotherapy and Taoism, and wehther Taoism is a form of escapism. In these talks on Lieh Tzu, Osho calls Tao "the pathless path" because, he says, it has a different quality - the quality of freedom, anarchy and chaos. "Anything that is an imposition, a discipline, an order imposed externally only serves to distract the seeker from his path." In addition to commenting on these stories attributed to Lieh Tzu, Osho answers questions about marriage, intimacy, the possibility of Tantra merging with Tao, and the relationship of Tao to the notion of "doing your own thing."
