- A practical handbook in simple and clear language which is ideal for everyone from complete beginners to experienced meditators. The book contains a scientific explanation of meditation, a humorous discussion of obstacles to watch out for, answers to questions from meditators and 60 step-by-step descriptions of meditation techniques. Some techniques have been drawn from ancient traditions such as Zen, Sufi, Tantra, Tao, and the Upanishads, others include the revolutionary techniques created by Osho especially for the modern man who finds it difficult to quieten his mind. There is even a meditation for smokers.
- notes
- From the title page of the 1976 Harper & Row edition:
- "With the exception of Ch. 3, Ch. 8, and the section on techniques devised by Bhagwan Shree, the material in this book originally appeared in Dynamics of Meditation, published by Jeevan Jagriti Kendra (now known as the Rajneesh Foundation).
- Ch. 3 originally appeared in Sannyas (Magazine, 1974) no. 1 (January/February 1974) under the title 'Modern Man and His Neurosis'.
- Chapter 8 is an excerpt from a discourse "The Occult Mysteries of Initation" that originally appeared in the book I Am the Gate."
- The material from Dynamics of Meditation is mixed to form completely new chapters.
- Ch. 3 is the "Text of an interview with Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh by Ma Yoga Bhasha of New York, U.S.A., on January 20, 1973, Bombay, India." It has about half of that interview.
- Ch. 8 contains about half of the text of I Am the Gate Ch.7.
- Rajneesh Foundation published this book in 1977 under the title Meditation: The Art of Inner Ecstasy. That has the same text as the 1976 edition of this book.
- time period of Osho's original talks/writings
- Oct 1, 1970 to Jan 20, 1973 : timeline
