When renunciation happened spontaneously to Prince Vardhaman, he attained ultimate liberation and became Mahavira one who has conquered himself. The Jin Sutra comprises the teachings of Mahavira, the twenty-fourth Jain Tirthankara.
In this first volume of a long series of 62 discourses, Osho discusses two paths: the path of the meditator and the path of the devotee. The Jin Sutra serves as a milestone for any seeker on the path of meditation. Osho states: "Mahavira is a master of meditation, he is solely for the meditator, because he dives deep into the different realms of consciousness."
