"A composition of lectures given by Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, at 1-1, Woodlands, Peddar Road, Bombay-400026. India."
From the three-page Preface:
Recently, in the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Sikkim, His Holiness Lama Karmapa has spoken of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh as "the greatest incarnation since Buddha in India", and the only living person who can be a world teacher. He went on to say that Rajneesh was "realized" in previous births and was one of the 99 Tibetan Avatars (Divine Incarnations); his golden statue of two life-times ago still in existence and being carefully preserved in a secret cave somewhere in Tibet.
(...)
In this book, The Silent Explosion, we have endevoured to compile the most useful cross-section of the teachings of Bhagwen 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.
