Education, according to Osho, is drawing out the hidden potential of the individual, to help each person bring his own uniqueness from the darkness into the light. In these talks he examines ways in which the institutions of society have systematically done the opposite in their attempts to impose socially-acceptable norms of behavior on everyone - from the cradle to the grave both in public and private life.

Series Title: From Darkness to Light

In this series of comprehensive, colorful and profound talks, Osho examines the ways in which the institutions of society have systematically crippled man’s authenticity and individuality. He goes on to point to man’s true potential for freedom, found within each of us, that moves far beyond the society’s narrow perimeters. Osho defines a vision of education which helps each person bring his own uniqueness from the darkness into light; from unconsciousness into a life lived with awareness.
Through responding to a wide variety of personal questions, such as : "Why is it so difficult to get rid of pain, misery and suffering?" "You said that right and wrong are determined by society. Is there no universal right or wrong?" "Does a pagan living a natural life need religion?" "What is the goal of life? Why is there a desire to continue forever?" Osho brings deep insight to who we are, to our capacity for transformation and freedom, and to the world we live in.
