I have loved The Book and I have saved it for last.

Granth by An Anonymous Disciple of Kabir. According to Osho:
"It does not matter who wrote it, but whoever did so must have been enlightened; that much can be said without any hesitation.
"It is a small book of poems, very poorly written. Maybe the man was not very educated, but that too does not matter. What matters is the matter in it. Yes, the matter matters—the content. The book is not even published. The people who have it in their possession are against publishing it, and I can understand their feelings and completely agree with them. They say that when a book is published it becomes part of the marketplace, and they do not want it to be published. If anyone wants the book he can come and write it down in his own handwriting. So there are many handwritten copies around in India, but they have all promised not to publish it."

Malukdas, The Poetry of. According to Osho:
"The first name today is one not even heard in the West: Maluka. He is one of the most significant mystics in India. His full name is Malukdas, but he only called himself Maluka as if he were a child – and he was a child really, not 'as if'.
"I have spoken on him in Hindi, but it will take a long time for it to be translated into other languages for the simple reason that Maluka is so strange, so mysterious. You will be surprised that in a country like India, which is full of commentators, scholars, pundits, nobody has even bothered to comment on Malukdas because it is so difficult. He had to wait for me. I am his first commentator, and who knows, maybe the last too."
According to Wikipedia: Maluk Das, born in Kada, near Allababad, India in 1574, was a devotional poet-saint of the Bhakti Movement. His compositions are Ratna khan and Gyan Bodh.

This book—a prop from the play—is titled The Revolutionist's Handbook & Pocket Companion. In it is a section titled Maxims for a Revolutionary, which Osho introduces by saying, "Eighth is a very unknown book…. Only an insane man like me can choose it.".

About the two books by Taran Taran, Osho says:
"I was born in a family which belongs to a very small section of Jainism. It follows a madman who must have been just a little bit less mad than me. I cannot say more mad than me!
""I am going to talk about his two books, which are not translated in English, not even into Hindi, because they are untranslatable. I don't think that he is ever going to have any international audience – impossible. He believes in no language, no grammar, nothing whatsoever. He speaks exactly like a madman."According to Wikipedia: "Taran Svami, also spelled Taranswami, was a Jain religious teacher and founder of the Taran Panth, a sect of Digambara Jainism. He lived in the 15th century central India.… Phulcandra has argued that the full name of Taran Svami, as used in the texts attributed to him, was Jin Taran Taran, literally 'Jina Deliverer Deliverance.' He also argued that the name indicates that he had liberated himself and can liberate others."

Alan W. Watts, The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are, Pantheon, NY, 1966, HB, DJ.
"… and the last—Alan Watts' The Book. I have been saving it. Alan Watts was was not a Buddha, but he could be one day. He has moved closer to it. The Book is tremendously important. It is his testament; his whole experience with Zen Masters, Zen classics … and he is a man of tremendous intelligence. He was also a drunkard. Intelligence plus wine have really created a juicy book. I have loved The Book and I have saved it for last.
"Do you remember Jesus' saying, 'Blessed are those who stand at the last'? Yes, this book is blessed. I bless it, and I would like this series of sessions to be in memory of Alan Watts."

In Theologia Mystica, Chapter 1, Osho says (via Osho World – https://oshoworld.com/dionysius/): "Dionysius is a rare man: living with stupid Christianity and its rigid organization, being a bishop and still being able to reach to the ultimate peaks of consciousness is something worthy of praise."
According to Wikipedia: "Dionysius the Areopagite (c. 1st century AD) was an Athenian judge at the Areopagus Court in Athens, who lived in the first century. As related in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 17:34), he was converted to Christianity by the preaching of Paul the Apostle. After his conversion, Dionysius became the first Bishop of Athens.… In the early sixth century the so-called Corpus Dionysiacum, a series of writings of a mystical nature, employing Neoplatonic language to elucidate Christian theological and mystical ideas, was ascribed to the Areopagite.".
