Buddha has said to his disciples: Whenever you meditate, after each meditation, surrender all that you have earned out of meditation, surrender it to the universe. If you are blissful, pour it back into the universe - don't carry it as a treasure. If you are feeling very happy, share it immediately - don't become attached to it, otherwise your meditation itself will become a new process of the self. And the ultimate meditation is not a process of self. The ultimate meditation is a process of getting more and more into un-self, into non-self - it is a disappearance of the self.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
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.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Be happy! and meditation will follow. Be happy, and religion will follow. Happiness is a basic condition. People become religious only when they are unhappy - then their religion is pseudo. Try to understand why you are unhappy.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
In the East we call this state meditation: no belief, no thought, no desire, no prejudice, no conditioning - in fact, no mind at all. A state of no-mind is meditation. When you can look without any mind interfering, distorting, interpreting, then you see the truth. The truth is already all around; just you have to put your mind aside.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
To be aflame with silence, with joy, is wisdom. It is not through logic but through love. It is not through words but through a wordless state called meditation or a state of no-mind, satori, samadhi.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
The mind always wants to choose. The mind lives through choice. If you don't choose the mind drops. This is the way of Lao Tzu. How to drop the mind? - don't choose! That's why he never prescribes any meditation, because then there is no need for any meditation.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Meditation simply means a state of no-thought, awareness without the process of thought, just pure, mirror-like awareness, with no thoughts passing in the mind.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Remember always that the ultimate value is meditation, so anything you do, do meditatively; and all things can be done in a meditative way.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Choose one meditation and then put all your effort in it. That effort has to be very regular because will is created only out of regularity. It has to be very persistent and a continuity has to be maintained. Even to miss for one day is to destroy much - and at least one hour every day has to be given to it.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Meditation or religion is a totally different world: it is relaxation, it is let-go - it is not concentration at all. It is not one-pointedness, it is no-pointedness.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Meditation is like light: when meditation comes, politics disappears. So you cannot be meditative and political. That is impossible: you are asking for the impossible. Meditation is not one pole: it is the absence of all conflict, all ambition, all ego trips.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Meditation means to be in non-doing. Meditation is not a doing but a state of being. It is a state of being in one's own self.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Meditation is an insight that all goals are false. Meditation is an understanding that desires don't lead anywhere. Seeing that... And this is not a belief that you can get from me or from Buddha or from Jesus. This is not knowledge; you will have to see it. You can see it right now!
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
First prepare the ground, then prayer happens on its own accord. Prayer is something that you cannot do. Meditation is something that you can do because it has something to do with your mind.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Mind is the absence of meditation. The moment meditation arises in you, mind is found nowhere.
Quote by -Osho Rajneesh
Meditation is about breathing, it's about clarity, taking your time and not rushing through your thinking.
Quote by -Jamal Murray
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
Because truth is exceedingly subtle and serene, the bliss of the Self can manifest only in a mind rendered subtle and steady by assiduous meditation.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
See who is in the subject. The investigation leads you to pure consciousness beyond the subject.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
Whenever a thought arises, instead of trying even a little either to follow it up or to fulfil it, it would be better to first enquire, "To whom did this thought arise?"
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
It is not enough that one surrenders oneself. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. Do not delude yourself by imagining such a source to be some God outside you. One's source is within oneself. Give yourself up to it. That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
Turn your vision inward and the whole world will be full of supreme spirit.
Quote by -Ramana Maharshi
In sitting on the meditation cushion and assuming the meditation posture, we connect ourselves with the present moment in this body and on this earth.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Skill in concentrating and steadying the mind is the basis for all types of meditation.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Breathing meditation can quiet the mind, open the body, and develop a great power of concentration.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Meditation practice is neither holding on nor avoiding; it is a settling back into the moment, opening to what is there.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
To understand ourselves and our life is the point of insight meditation: to understand and to be free.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
In Buddhist practice, the outward and inward aspects of taking the one seat meet on our meditation cushion.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
The focusing of attention on the breath is perhaps the most universal of the many hundreds of meditation subjects used worldwide.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
The best of modern therapy is much like a process of shared meditation, where therapist and client sit together, learning to pay close attention to those aspects and dimensions of the self that the client may be unable to touch on his or her own.
Quote by -Jack Kornfield
Meditation is a vehicle for opening to the truth of this impermanence on deeper and deeper levels.
