Osho Meditation Quotes
- Meditation is the experience: "I am not my body, not my mind --
I am the witness of it all." This experience, this transcendental
experience, immensely transforms the whole situation. Many things
which were driving you crazy simply drop away.
- The moment the person withdraws from the mind, the mind has no
energy to go on into old routines. It is your identity with the mind
that gives power to it. You have taken your identity back, you are
no longer nursing the mind; it starts dying. The farther you go away
from it, the more and more your mind dies. And to attain a state of
no-mind is what I call health. That is the goal of meditation. Then
your spirit is healed, you have become whole.
- Meditation is the highest form of intelligence because it is the
highest form of consciousness.
- If your spirit is whole then your mind can never go crazy,
because you don't have any mind. You have a brain, you have a memory
system, but you are separate from it. You can use it but you cannot
be used by it.
- Walking you meditate, working you meditate, sometimes sitting
silently you meditate, sometimes lying on your bed you meditate...
meditation should become your constant companion. And this
meditation that can become constant companion is a very simple
thing, I call it witnessing.
- Meditation means a state of unconditioned mind. Meditation is
the process of undoing the harm that every society goes on doing to
every individual -- communist or Catholic, Jaina or Jew, it does not
matter. I am not talking about any particular conditioning that is
wrong; I am saying conditioning AS SUCH is wrong.
- Call it meditation, call it awareness, call it watchfulness --
it all comes to the same: that you become more alert, first about
your conscious mind, what goes on in your conscious mind.... And it
is a beautiful experience.
- Concentration is not meditation; concentration is a faculty of
the mind. Mind concentrates; meditation is the absence of mind. Mind
cannot do anything about meditation. It simply does not know
meditation, and there is no intrinsic possibility for the mind ever
to come in contact with meditation. Just as I said before, darkness
cannot come in contact with light because darkness is only an
absence -- so is the mind. Mind is the absence of meditation. The
moment meditation arises in you, mind is found nowhere.
- The whole work of religion, of meditation is to make you aware of all that is mind and disidentify yourself with it.
