This book from Diamond Books is a Hindi medium (हिन्दी माध्यम) title by Osho, meant for adult readers of spirituality (अध्यात्म) and Indian philosophy (दर्शन), and for anyone approaching Osho's thought for the first time. It is not a written work in the ordinary sense: < cite index="66-1">it is a compilation of the discourses Osho gave on the subject of sex, gathered together with the questions and answers that followed them. < cite index="65-1">Its central concern is the path by which life-energy (यौन ऊर्जा) can be turned toward spiritual awareness — Osho's argument being that self-knowledge (आत्मज्ञान) comes not from suppressing this energy but from directing it rightly, through meditation (ध्यान) and samadhi, toward mental and inner peace; and alongside that central thread the discourses also take up meditation itself, stillness of mind and enlightenment. < cite index="66-1">Osho's starting point is that the first point of the whole journey of love is kaam — that sex-energy is the Gangotri from which the river of love is born, and that culture, religion, gurus and mahatmas alike struck at that source and dammed it, without ever considering that this very energy is what finally transforms into love. < cite index="65-1">This position has been treated as controversial by some religious and social groups, precisely because it links life-energy and spirituality in a way that departs from received belief. < cite index="64-1">The book is best read as a guide to change rather than as theory, and how much a reader takes from it depends on the openness of mind they bring to it. The whole book is written in Hindi in the Devanagari script (देवनागरी लिपि).

डायमंड बुक्स द्वारा प्रकाशित 'संभोग से समाधि की ओर : जीवन-ऊर्जा रूपांतरण का विज्ञान' ओशो की सर्वाधिक चर्चित एवं सर्वाधिक विवादित पुस्तक मानी जाती है। यह कोई लिखित रचना नहीं, बल्कि इस विषय पर दिए गए ओशो के प्रवचनों तथा उनके बाद हुए प्रश्नोत्तरों का संकलन है। इसका मूल स्वर यह है कि जीवन-ऊर्जा का दमन नहीं, बल्कि उसका सही दिशा में रूपांतरण ही ध्यान और समाधि तक ले जाता है। ओशो का कहना है कि प्रेम की सारी यात्रा का प्राथमिक बिंदु काम है — वही गंगोत्री है जहाँ से प्रेम की गंगा जन्म लेती है — और यही ऊर्जा अंततः प्रेम में रूपांतरित होती है। इन प्रवचनों में ध्यान, मानसिक शांति और आत्मज्ञान जैसे विषयों पर भी विस्तार से चर्चा है। कुछ धार्मिक एवं सामाजिक वर्गों ने इन विचारों को विवादास्पद माना है, क्योंकि ये पारंपरिक धारणाओं से भिन्न हैं। यह पुस्तक प्रौढ़ पाठकों के लिए है और ओशो के दर्शन को समझने की एक बुनियादी कड़ी मानी जाती है। सम्पूर्ण पुस्तक हिन्दी भाषा एवं देवनागरी लिपि में है।
