Sufism
Osho read Sufi poetry as rebellion in song: love too large for the mosque, too precise for sentiment. He returned to Kabir, to the desert metaphors of longing, to the master as friend rather than warden.
Do not expect a survey course in Islamic history. Osho mined Sufi poetry for what it does to the nervous system: longing that burns clean, humor that cuts pride, drunkenness as metaphor for ego-loss rather than bar-stool escape. If you come from a Muslim background, bring your own scholarship; if you come from nowhere, bring ears for metaphor.
