Love, Freedom, and Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships [Paperback]

Osho, one of the greatest spiritual thinkers of the twentieth century, explores the connections between ourselves and others inLove, Freedom, and Aloneness: The Koan of Relationships.

Love can only happen through freedom and in conjunction with a deep respect for ourselves and the other. Is it possible to be alone and not lonely?
