- The Zen koan, "The goose is out!" captures the whole absurdity of the human condition - how, throughout our lives, we remain voluntarily ignorant of our true nature. In this book, his last responses to disciples' questions before going into silence for three and a half years, Osho penetrates the prejudices and beliefs we have gathered as our protection against the truth.

- Introduction: Sw Anand Subhuti :
- This is the last series of discourses given in English by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, the enlightened Master, who in the seven years between 1974 and 1981 gave a two-hour discourse every morning to an international audience of disciples and sekers at Shree Rajneesh Ashram in Poona, India.
- This final series was delivered in Buddha Hall in March 1981. Shortly afterwards, Bhagwan began the ultimate stage of his work, replacing verbal communication with satsang: a direct, silent heart-to-heart communion between the Master and his disciples.
- Many times in his discourses, Bhagwan had said that truth cannot be expressed through words - that it is a special transmission beyond all scriptures. And this is something which all the great Masters down through the ages have observed: that the ultimate truth can never be said, has never been said, will never be said.
- After the introduction, and before the first chapter, there is a page with the text:
- The Goose Is Out
- These ten discourses are the last spoken doctrines and testament of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.
- They were given in response to questions from disciples and visitors from March 1st through 10th, 1981 at the Shree Rajneesh Ashram in Poona, India.

- The last lecture series before Bhagwan stopped speaking forever.

- (The publication of this book was 15 months into Osho's silent period.)
