Osho Meditation Quotes
- Meditation will bring you sensitivity, a great sense of
belonging to the world. It is our world -- the stars are ours, and
we are not foreigners here. We belong intrinsically to existence. We
are part of it, we are heart of it.
- Meditation will bring you a great silence -- because all rubbish
knowledge is gone. Thoughts that are part of the knowledge are gone
too... an immense silence, and you are surprised:
This silence is the only music there is. All music is an effort to bring this silence somehow into manifestation.
- Particularly, I want my people to know that meditation is not
just being silent -- that is only one part of it. Finally, it has to
be creative. And when a poetry comes out of your inner silences, or
a painting, it has a flavor which is not of this world.
- Meditation is nothing but coming to terms with your inner
emptiness: recognizing it, not escaping; living through it, not
escaping; being through it, not escaping. Then suddenly the
emptiness becomes the fullness of life. When you don't escape from
it, it is the most beautiful thing, the purest, because only
emptiness can be pure.
- Meditation is needed to give you a break from the others, the
eyes of others, the mirror of others. Forget them! For a few minutes
just look inside -- then you will feel the inner pain and suffering,
that you are empty there. Then a transformation starts: then you
start looking for the inner riches, the treasury that exists within
you -- not for the treasures that are spread all around.
- Use all your suffering for meditation, and soon you will come to
know that the suffering disappears because the energy starts moving
inwards. It is not moving to the periphery, to the suffering, you
are not feeding your suffering. It looks illogical, but this is the
whole conclusion of all the mystics of the world: that you feed your
suffering and you enjoy it in a subtle way, you don't want to be
well -- there must be some investment in it.
- Meditation cannot have any purpose because meditation basically
means a state of no-mind: it is where you are, not going anywhere;
where just being, just to be, is the goal.
- Meditation means: dissolve yourself before that mystery,
annihilate yourself before that mystery, disperse yourself before
that mystery. Be no more, and let the mystery be so total that you
are absorbed in it.
- Meditation cannot be taught, it can only be caught. I am
meditation. If you are available you can catch it.
- Remember, meditation is not something that is done by the mind,
it is the absence of the mind. When the mind stops meditation
happens. It is not something out of the mind, it is something beyond
the mind. And whenever you are alert, the mind is not.
- Thoughts can create such a barrier that even if you are standing before a beautiful flower, you will not be able to see it. Your eyes are covered with layers of thought. To experience the beauty of the flower you have to be in a state of meditation, not in a state of mentation. You have to be silent, utterly silent — not even a flicker of thought — and the beauty explodes, reaches to you from all directions. You are drowned in the beauty of a sunrise, of a starry night, of beautiful trees.
