What is meditation? Meditation is an adventure, an adventure into the unknown, the greatest adventure the human mind can take. Meditation is just to be not doing anything – no action, no thoughts, no emotion. You just are and it is a sheer delight. From where does this delight come when you are not doing anything? It comes from nowhere, or it comes from everywhere. It is uncaused because existence is made of the stuff called joy.
Osho: Meditation, The first and last freedom
“Meditation simply
means learning to forget all that you have learned. It is a process of
deconditioning, a process of dehypnosis. The society has burdened
everybody with thousands of thoughts. Meditation simply helps you to come
out of that world of thoughts, into a state of silence. It is a process of
cleaning your slate completely, it is emptying all that has been forced
and stuffed inside you.” |
