Meditation is like swimming

Jul 27
Father, didn't feel like doing any work cos now on holiday. The last trip to ashram was supposed to be a holiday but alas was a hata yoga program. So, this is my break.
Instead of writing mails, I just dropped teacher a whatsapp message instead. Got a positive reply

Did my usual evening walk. Just focus on loving myself. Little tots along the way. The grass really caught my attention with their aliveness.  It is easy for grass to grow but they are easily killed. Grass got loads of living spirit.

Today was sabbatical, no practices at all. Tomorrow will also be. All in all will be four days. Next Monday session will not be easy.

 Osho - autobiography
Buddha with Ananda
This is the same with my mind - sitting on the bank of that small stream, I become aware that the same is the case with my mind. If I jump into the stream, I will make it dirty again. If I jump into the mind, more noise is created, more problems start coming up, surfacing. Sitting by the side of the stream I learned the technique.
"Now I will be sitting by the side of my mind too, watching it with all its dirtiness and problems and old leaves and hurts and wounds, memories, desires. Unconcerned I will sit on the bank and wait for the moment when everything is clear"

Osho - and it happens on its own accord, because the moment you sit on the bank of ur mind, u r no longer giving energy to it. This is real meditation. Meditation is the art of transcendence.

Meditation, awareness, watchfulness, witnessing - that is the unique third psychology. No psychoanalyst is needed. U can do it on ur own - infact u have to do it on ur own. No guidelines is needed. If u don't do it, it looks very complicated. Even the word meditation scares many people. They think it is very difficult, arduous. Yes, if u don't do it, it is difficult and ardous. But if u know, it is so simple a process. It is like swimming, it is very difficult if u don't know how to swim. But if u know, u know it is so simple. Nothing can be more simple than swimming. It is not an art at all; it is spontaneous and so natural.

Soul
Amen.

Osho - autobiography
Be aware of ur mind. And in being aware of ur mind, u will become aware that u r not the mind, and that is the beginning of the revolution. U have started flowing higher and higher. U r no longer tethered to the mind. The moment u r no longer attached to the mind, u enter into buddha field.

Psychotherapy may help u to accept ur wounds, but they can't heal. Healing comes when u r no longer attached to the mind. When u r disconnected, unidentified, absolutely untethered, when the bondage is finished, then healing happens.
Mind is only ur circumference, not ur center.

Soul
Amen.
