In this series of talks, Osho explains that peace can only be achieved when rigid religious practices and political ideologies are discarded and replaced with awakened consciousness. The key to peace is transformation—within and without—for each individual separately, and in this book, Osho demonstrates how this can be achieved through meditation.

"The conquest of truth, the touch of the shadow of truth, is known as the conquest of peace. Whoever discovers this truth finally conquers peace within themselves, conquers tranquility. Find the truth and, like its shadow, tranquility will follow. The shadow of truth is the peace within us."
