- (...)
- In this book, The Silent Explosion, we have endevoured to compile the most useful cross-section of the teachings of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, so that one will not only benefit from its reading, but in it will find the tools necessary for encountering the non-intellectual, non-verbal "happening", that is the experience of meditation itself.
