Zorba the Buddha
I really like Osho's vision of Zorba the Buddha, which is the consciousness of Buddha meeting the passion of Zorba the Greek. Here's a short message I compiled from the words of Maitreya Ishwara.

Osho's vision of Zorba the Buddha weaves an intricate tapestry from his vast knowledge of esoteric science and a playful merger with life as God. Zorba symbolizes a conscious celebration of life and all the positive aspects of being human. Buddha represents the transcendental awareness of all inner and outer experience.
Politics endeavours to change society for the better. The process is largely unsuccessful because the individual remains unconscious. Authentic religion, the way of personal transformation, starts with individuals and brings light into the darkness of their unconsciousness.
In the past, mystics would often work on their growth in consciousness by withdrawing from society and staying focused on their inner world. The new dawn calls for a full integration of society and spiritual development. The basis for this integration is in the synergy of Zorba the Buddha.
Zorba the Buddha is the new man, a meeting of east and west, of meditation and celebration. Zorba is passion for life and all its positive worldly pleasures. By allowing Zorba to play and create, Buddha is built on solid ground. When the time arrives for introversion, Zorba has drunk his last drop of wine. There is no conflict of interest.
Society is the sum of all its parts, and will continue to fail until each individual becomes more conscious.
