"Meditation is just being delighted in your own presence; meditation is a delight in your own being. It is very simple – a totally relaxed state of consciousness where you are not doing anything. The moment doing enters, you become tense; anxiety enters immediately. How to do? What to do? How to succeed? How not to fail? You have already moved into the future." "if you are contemplating, what can you contemplate? How can you contemplate the unknown? How can you contemplate the unknowable? You can contemplate only the known. You can chew it again and again, but it is the known. If you know something about Jesus, you can think again and again; if you know something about Krishna, you can think again and again. You can go on modifying, changing, decorating – but it is not going to lead you towards the unknown. And “God” is the unknown. "Meditation is just to be, not
doing anything – no action, no thought, no emotion. You just
are and it is sheer delight. From where does this delight come when you are not doing
anything? It comes from nowhere, or, it comes from
everywhere. It is uncaused because the existence is made of
the stuff called joy. It needs no cause, no reason. If you
are unhappy you have a reason to be unhappy; if you are
happy, you are simply happy – there is no reason for it.
Your mind tries to find a reason because it cannot believe
in the uncaused because it cannot control the uncaused -
with the uncaused the mind becomes simply impotent. So the
mind goes on finding some reason or the other. But I would
like to tell you that whenever you are happy, you are happy
for no reason at all. Whenever you are unhappy, you have
some reason to be unhappy – because happiness is just the
stuff you are made of. It is your very being, it is your
innermost core. Joy is your innermost core. Osho, Dang Dang Doko Dang, Talk #5 To continue reading – and see all the available formats of this talk: click here
