- The
mind is not your reality; it is a false interpretation. You
are not the mind, you have never been a mind, you can never
be the mind. That is your problem- you have become
identified with something which is not. You are like a
beggar who believes that he has a kingdom. He is so worried
about the kingdom -- how to manage it, how to govern it, how
to prevent anarchy. There is no kingdom, but he is worried.
- Osho
- The
mind is just like a crowd; thoughts are the individuals. And
because thoughts are there continuously you think the
process is substantial. Drop each individual thought and
finally nothing is left. There is no mind as such, only
thinking. -Osho
-
Between two thoughts try to be alert; look into the
interval, the space in between. You will see no mind; that
is your nature. For thoughts come and go -- they are
accidental -- but that inner space always remains. Clouds
gather and go, disappear -- they are accidental -- but the
sky remains. You are the sky. -
Osho
- Wherever you go, your mind is a
step ahead of you. It is not only that it follows you like a
shadow, it is always one step ahead of you, it has reached
before you. But you are never aware of it because it is so
transparent. Whenever you are entering a temple, your mind
has entered before you. When you are going to a friend, when
you are embracing him, your mind has embraced before. And
this you can know, your mind is always rehearsing.
That stepping ahead is always rehearsing. Before you speak, it is always rehearsing what to speak. Before you act, it is always rehearsing what to act. Before you do anything or do not do anything, it is rehearsing. The rehearsal means that the mind is preparing itself before you, it is always one step ahead. And that is a constant, transparent barrier between you and everything else that you will come across, that you will encounter. - Osho
- Just
watch the body, the mind. They are not you, you are the
watcher. And the watcher is another name for the buddha.
- So
the first thing the koan does is to make you completely
straightforward, pointing to a single goal, like an arrow.
If this is done, soon your mind will be tired. But if you
are saving some energy, your mind will always rejuvenate
itself. The saved energy will never allow you to be so tired
and so exhausted that you simply drop the koan, you simply
say, "I am fed up; I am finished. This is stupid -- there
cannot be any sound with one hand clapping!" At that
exhausted moment, mind stops -- tired, utterly fed up. With
the mind stopping, even for a single moment, in the blink of
an eye you are on the other shore.
- Your mind is very wavering, wobbly. A koan concentrates all your energies. A koan has not to be done in a lukewarm way, that is dangerous. It has to be done with totality, so you can exhaust the mind quickly -- as quickly as possible.
EXPERIENCE MEDITATION clickHERE Meditation is not contemplation either because it is not thinking at all -- consistent, inconsistent, crazy, sane. It is not thinking at all; it is witnessing. It is just sitting silently deep within yourself, looking at whatsoever is happening inside and outside both. Outside there is traffic noise, inside there is also traffic noise -- the traffic in the head. So many thoughts -- trucks and buses of thoughts and trains and airplanes of thoughts, rushing in every direction. But you are simply sitting aloof, unconcerned, watching everything with no evaluation. OSHO HEALING AND MEDITATION EXPERIENCE So meditation is not really mind-effort. Real meditation is not effort at all. Real meditation is just allowing the mind to have its own way, and not interfering in any way whatsoever -- just remaining watchful, witnessing.
