Osho – If you can watch your breath then you can start watching other things too

Osho – If you can watch your breath then you can start watching other things too. Walking you can watch that you are walking, eating you can watch that you are eating, and ultimately, finally, you can watch that you are sleeping. The day you can watch that you are sleeping you are transported into another world. The body goes on sleeping and inside a light goes on burning brightly. Your watchfulness remains undisturbed, then twenty-four hours a day there is an undercurrent of watching. You go on doing things… for the outside world nothing has changed, but for you everything has changed.

Osho – Meditation is just a situation; silence is not going to be the consequence of it

Osho – Meditation is just a situation; silence is not going to be the consequence of it. No, meditation is just creating the soil, the surrounding, preparing the ground. The seed is there, it is always there; you need not put in the seed, the seed has always been with you. That seed is Brahma; that seed is atma. — that seed is you. Just create the situation and the seed will become alive. It will sprout and a plant will be born, and you will start growing.

Meditation doesn’t lead you to silence; meditation only creates the situation in which the silence happens. And this should be the criterion — that whenever silence happens laughter will come into your life. A vital celebration will happen all around. You will not become sad, you will not become depressed, you will not escape from the world. You will be here in this world, but taking the whole thing as a game, enjoying the whole thing as a beautiful game, a big drama, no longer serious about it.Seriousness is a disease.

Osho – Remember, meditation can never be result-oriented

Osho – Remember, meditation can never be result-oriented; you simply meditate, that’s all. Everything happens but it will not be a result. If you are seeking the result nothing will happen; meditation will be useless.When you seek a result, it is the mind; when you don’t seek a result, it is meditation. Kick the pot and walk out, meditate and walk out; don’t ask for the result. Don’t say, “What will happen?” If you think about what will happen you cannot meditate. The mind goes on thinking about the result; it cannot be here and now, it is always in the future.

You are meditating and thinking, “When will the happiness come? It has not come yet.”If you forget the result completely, if there is not even a flicker in the mind for the result, not a single vibration moving into the future – when you have become a silent pool, here and now everything happens. In meditation cause and effect are not two -.cause is the effect; the act and the result are not two – the act is the result – they are not divided. In meditation the seed and the tree are not two -, the seed is the tree.
