It was a joy to read this book of transcribed audio from the mystic Osho. Many anecdotal nuggets of him challenging the status quo (but surely slightly exaggerated by him here and there to suit his argument). Most important takeaway for me: A rebel is someone who acts according to their own nature, while a revolutionary is someone who reacts against what’s gone before them. The latter is nothing but the same - perpetuating the cycle. The former is unique - breaking the cycle and leaving it altogether.

"Compromise simply means you are on uncertain ground. Rather than compromising, find grounding, roots, individuality. Find a sincerity of feeling the support of your heart. Then whatever the consequence, it does not matter. One who knows knows perfectly well that no harm is possible. You can kill him, but you cannot harm him. And one who does not know is always trembling, always worried. In that worrying and trembling, that anguish, he goes on compromising with everybody, just to be safe, not to be harmed. But what are you trying to save? You don’t have anything to save."
