Awareness = Meditation

Awareness is Meditation

Remember one thing: meditation means awareness.

Whatsoever you do with awareness is meditation.
Action is not the question, but the quality that you bring to your action.
Walking can be a meditation if you walk alertly.
Sitting can be a meditation if you sit alertly.
Listening to the birds can be a meditation if you listen with awareness.
Just listening to the inner noise of your mind can be a meditation if you remain alert and watchful.
The whole point is: one should not move in sleep.
Then whatsoever you do is meditation.
– Osho

Witnessing

Just one quality of the Buddha has to be remembered.
He consists only of one quality, witnessing.
This small word witnessing contains the whole of spirituality.
Witness that you are not the body.
Witness that you are not the mind.
Witness that you are only a witness.
As the witnessing deepens, you start becoming drunk with the divine.
That is what is called ecstasy.
– Osho

Here and Now

Be here and now, in this very moment, in a flame of awareness

Your mind gives you a sort of stupor.
Burdened by the memories of the past,
burdened by the projections of the future,
you go on living – at the minimum.
You don’t live at the maximum.
Your flame remains very dim.
Once you start dropping thoughts,
the dust that you have collected in the past,
the flame arises – clean, clear, alive, young.
Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke.
That is what awareness is.
– Osho

I Celebrate Myself

The moment you utter the word `God’ you
immediately start thinking of him as a person, as
a creator.
No-mind is not a person; on the contrary, your
very personality disappears, only then does no-
mind start blossoming. No-mind is not a creator.
It has always been here, and will remain always
here; it is always now. No-mind is your eternity,
your very source of life.
God was just an excuse to exploit humanity and
to keep humanity in a very subtle and invisible
bondage. God has been your prison; no-mind is
your freedom. God has been in the hands of the
priests, and the priests are doing the ugliest job
in the world, because their whole business
depends on a lie.
No-mind has no priests, it is simply there inside
you…
– Osho
