Meditation Quotes of Osho

• Only meditation can uncondition you. No social revolution will help, because the revolutionaries will again condition you in their way.
   

• Except meditation, there is no other religion.
   

• If you remain a witness, just taking a bath, a shower, is so fulfilling that you cannot expect more. Just taking your breakfast is so fulfilling. Just sipping tea is such a tremendous delight, you cannot think, you cannot imagine, that more is possible. Then each moment becomes a diamond unto itself, and each experience becomes a flowering -- but you remain alert. You are not lost in the experience: you don't get identified with it.
   

• When mind is not having any thoughts, you are in an empty sky; time stops because you cannot judge time without movement -- you are not there, mind is not there, time is not there... only a tremendous peace and a great relaxation.
   

• You go to your neighbor, you get married, you want children, you want friends. But have you watched? -- it is just being busy to somehow avoid yourself, to not come into contact with yourself. So do anything stupid. Go to see a movie, go to a sermon in the church, go to the circus, to any restaurant, but keep yourself busy, from the morning till you fall asleep. And in sleep, also keep yourself busy with your dreams; never leave a gap in which you have to face yourself. And to face yourself is the essence of meditation.
   

• Everything that arises out of the mind is bound to be dual. It may be arising from the right side of the mind or the left side of the mind, it does not matter. There is a music which does not rise from the mind. That music is absolutely soundless, and is heard only by those who have come to be nothing. There is a beauty known, there is a dance experienced only by those who have gone beyond the duality of the mind. Meditation can be defined as going beyond the duality of the mind.
   

• Realizing your being is not a serious matter at all. It comes to you in utter relaxation, a non-tense state of being, in a playfulness.
  Never make your meditation a serious affair, otherwise you are going to miss it. Be playful about it.
   

• This is what meditation is all about -- to be conscious without a content. And the way to drop the content is not the way of analysis, it is the way of the pure look.
   

• Religious truth is ultimate truth, pure truth -- with no lies, with no mind involved in it. And the basis of all religion is to drop the mind. That's what meditation is all about -- to put the mind aside, and then look. Look without the mind, look without this mechanism of the mind. Without the mind there can be no construct -- because when the constructor is not there, there cannot be any construct. When the mind is not there, mind-constructs disappear. Look into things -- but don't think, don't contemplate, don't bring thinking in. Just look.
