Osho Meditation Quotes
- Start with meditation, and things will go on growing in you --
silence, serenity, blissfulness, sensitivity. And whatever comes out
of meditation, try to bring it out in life. Share it, because
everything shared grows fast. And when you have reached the point of
death, you will know there is no death. You can say goodbye, there
is no need for any tears of sadness -- maybe tears of joy, but not
of sadness. But you have to begin from being innocent.
- Just remain aware that whether it is a biofeedback machine or a
chanting of OM, it does not matter; it only creates a mental peace,
and a mental peace is not meditation. Meditation is the flight
beyond the mind. It has nothing to do with mental peace.
- Whenever you are meditating it is the right time, and whenever
you are not meditating it is the wrong time. And it is not a
question of how long you should meditate. Meditation has to become
your heartbeat; even when you are asleep the meditation continues
like an undercurrent. So...from dawn to dawn....
- You cannot see clearly, because you are so full of expectations,
hopes, desires. Your eyes are covered with many layers of dust: you
need a deep cleansing of your eyes. That's what meditation is. Let
the thoughts disappear, the hopes disappear, the desires disappear.
Then you have a clarity, then your eyes are perfect mirrors. Only
then, in that silent state of your vision, will you know the secrets
of the beyond.
- To be alone and to be drunk with your own aloneness is what
meditation is all about. Be in the world, but don't be of it. Be
with people, but don't let them become part of you.
- That's what I call meditation. You simply stand aloof and just
see the mind disappearing, like a cloud on a faraway horizon,
leaving the sky clean and pure. And in that state arises your
consciousness in its full glory, in its full celebration.
- Meditation is the source and wisdom is the radiation. Meditation
is your understanding and wisdom is your action according to that
understanding. Meditation is your inner experience and wisdom is its
outer expression. A man of meditation cannot do anything wrong. And
a man of so-called wisdom alone is just a parrot. He goes on
repeating, but his heart is not touched by his own repetitions.
- An unoccupied state of mind is meditation. An occupied state of
mind is the world, the sansar. It doesn't matter what type of
occupation -- whether you are interested in money or politics, or
social service or revolution, it makes no difference: your sanity is
the same.
- With an unnecessary thing mind is not in any danger. The moment
you think of meditation, mind becomes alert. Now you are moving in a
dangerous dimension, because meditation means the death of the mind.
If you move into meditation, sooner or later your mind will have to
dissolve, retire completely. The mind becomes alert and it begins to
say many things to you: "Where is the time? And even if there is
time, then more important things are to be done. First postpone it
until later. You can meditate at any time. Money is more important.
Gather money first, then meditate at your leisure. How can you
meditate without money? So pay attention to money, then meditate
later on."
- In ordinary thinking, mind is allowed to move anywhere; in
contemplation, it is allowed only in one direction, all other
directions are cut off. In concentration, it is not allowed to move
even in one direction; it is allowed only to concentrate on one
point. And in meditation, mind is not allowed at all. Meditation is
no-mind.
- These are four stages: ordinary thinking, contemplation,
concentration, meditation. Meditation means no-mind -- not even
concentration is allowed. Mind itself is not allowed to be! That is
why meditation cannot be grasped by mind. Up to concentration mind
has a reach, an approach. Mind can understand concentration, but
mind cannot understand meditation. Really, mind is not allowed at
all. In concentration, mind is allowed to be at one point. In
meditation, even that point is taken away. In ordinary thinking, all
directions are open. In contemplation, only one direction is open.
In concentration, only one point is open -- no direction. In
meditation, even that point is not open: mind is not allowed to be.
- Ordinary thinking is the ordinary state of mind, and meditation
is the highest possibility. The lowest one is ordinary thinking,
association, and the highest, the peak, is meditation -- no-mind.
- Deep down mind is space occupied, filled by thoughts. If you
remove some thoughts, space is created -- or discovered, or
reclaimed. If you go on removing your thoughts, by and by you go on
regaining your space. This space is meditation.
- Really, if you love someone, no other meditation is needed. But because no one loves, one hundred and twelve methods are needed -- and even they may not be enough.
