CD-ROM on this chapter:
This was published in The Rajneesh Times, 5th November 1982, while Osho was in silence. Ed Bradley of the 60 Minutes team visited Rancho Rajneesh in May to get footage for last Sunday's program. Since it was not possible for him to interview Osho directly, he sent Osho a letter containing four questions. Osho gave his replies to the questions through Ma Anand Sheela and they were forwarded to Bradley.
