Osho Meditation Quotes
- Meditation is a way of life. It is not an activity, it is your
very being. It has to be constant, it has to be continuous, it has
to be, whether you are walking, eating, or even when you are
sleeping, it has to be there. It must become a crystallized
continuity. Only then Enlightenment happens, never before it.
- You cannot afford to meditate in the morning and then forget
about it.
- In innocence meditation becomes easier. When the ego is not
there a great barrier is removed.
- Meditation will make you inwardly rich, certainly. Inwardly you
will become ecstatic, but outwardly it can't be guaranteed that you
will become rich, that you will become successful, that you will
become very healthy, that no disease will ever happen to you. That
is all sheer bullshit!
- Meditation is nothing but an effort to cleanse your mind of
knowledge. Knowledge is dust that has gathered on the mirror of your
being; it has to be cleaned.
- Meditation is equivalent to watchfulness, awareness, alertness.
- Meditation is nothing but renouncing borrowed knowledge and
becoming fully aware of one's ignorance. This brings a
metamorphosis. The moment you are aware of your ignorance, ignorance
goes through such a great change that unless it happens it remains
unbelievable. The very ignorance becomes your innocence.
- Any act arising out of meditation has no goal, it has no
motivation; its value is intrinsic. While dancing, you are getting
all the reward; there is no need for any other reward afterwards.
There is no ambition, that you want to become famous, the greatest
painter, the greatest poet -- all that nonsense is part of the mind,
which is egocentric.
- Avoid such situations in which you are unnecessarily burdened
with rubbish. You already have too much as it is, you need to be
unburdened of it. And you go on collecting it as if it is something
precious. Talk less, listen only to the essential, be telegraphic in
talking and listening. If you talk less, if you listen less, slowly
slowly you will see that a cleanliness, a feeling of purity, as if
you have just taken a bath, will start arising within you. That
becomes the necessary soil for meditation to arise. Don't go on
reading all kinds of nonsense.
- Meditation can be done in a group: it is a technique. In fact, if you meditate in a group, you will meditate deeply because the group helps, enhances. It fosters confidence. A group mind is created, a great wave of group consciousness is created and you simply move on the wave.
