Isn’t the mind the source of our sanity?
The mind may appear to be the source of sanity, but that sanity is often only superficial—just a thin surface layer. Scratch it slightly, and beneath it lies confusion, fear, and madness. True sanity doesn’t come from the mind; it arises only when you go beyond it—into meditation, into silence. Thoughts can never truly be…

What is meant by “mind” and “no-mind”?
No-mind meditation The mind is constantly projecting—projecting itself onto reality. It interferes, distorts, colors, shapes, and reshapes the world around you according to its own conditioning. It doesn’t allow you to see what is; it only lets you see what it wants to see. Scientific Shift: Mind as Filter Just a few decades ago, scientists…

Does the mind have to be thrown out?
Nothing needs to be thrown out of your system—everything must be transformed and absorbed. The mind itself is not ugly; it is your use of the mind that becomes distorted. Change the way you use it. The problem is not the mind—it is your unconsciousness. The chariot is golden and magnificent, but the charioteer is…

Is there a time to use the mind?
Yes—against society, use the mind. The mind is a perfect tool to preserve your independence and sharpen your awareness. It is a capable fighter, but it is not a lover. When the moment demands resistance or the defense of your freedom, the heart won’t help; the heart does not know how to fight. But context…

Are mind and consciousness two separate things?
It depends—on definitions, on context. But from a deeper, experiential perspective, yes, they are entirely different. The mind is not truly yours. It is the part of you that has been given, imposed, shaped. The mind is borrowed, constructed, conditioned. It is the imprint of society upon your being—the product of education, culture, religion, and…

What Should We Do With Our Thoughts?
You don’t need to fight your thoughts. You don’t need to silence them or chase them away. All you need is to stop giving them importance. Let them be. Don’t judge, don’t react, don’t tell them to go or stay. Just watch—like watching clouds drift across the sky or scenes from a silent film. And…

Is it always necessary to close my eyes while meditating?
In most meditation techniques—and in most stages of those techniques—closing the eyes is recommended. Some practices, however, specifically require open eyes. Others leave it up to you. There’s no fixed or naturally given path to turn inwards. But none is needed. When enough awareness gathers within, it carves its own way—just like water. Water doesn’t…

How can I become a self-sufficient meditator?
My effort is to leave you alone with meditation—without any mediator between you and existence. When you’re not in meditation, you feel separated from existence, and that very separation is your suffering. Meditation is the process of removing the barriers—thoughts, emotions, sentiments—that create a wall between you and the whole. When these barriers drop, you…

What about the aches or pains I might feel during or after meditating?
If you have any pre-existing health concerns—such as back issues, heart conditions, or other medical conditions—it’s always wise to consult your physician before engaging in active or dynamic meditation methods. And if any particular pain continues for more than three days, it’s advisable to check with a doctor. Here’s how Osho responded to a question…

How do I deal with distractions like pain and itching during meditation?
If you feel pain, simply be attentive to it. Don’t react. Don’t try to escape. Attention is the great sword—it cuts through everything. Just watch the pain, stay with it. Be a witness, not a participant. For instance, you’re sitting silently in the final stage of meditation, motionless, and suddenly the body begins to complain.…
