What Is Meditation?

Excerpt 8. Meditation Is Clarity

Once you understand what meditation is, things become very clear. Otherwise you can go on groping in the dark.

Meditation is a state of clarity, not a state of mind. Mind is confusion. Mind is never clear. It cannot be. Thoughts create clouds around you - they are subtle clouds. A mist is created by them, and then clarity is lost. When thoughts disappear, when there are no more clouds around you, when you are in your simple beingness, clarity happens. Then you can see far away; then you can see to the very end of existence; then your gaze becomes penetrating – to the very core of the being.

Meditation is clarity, absolutely clarity of vision. You cannot think about it. You have to drop thinking.

Daily Quotes

"From my words you can get burned, but you will not be able to find any kind of theology, dogmatism. You can find a way to live but not a dogma to preach. You can find a rebellious quality to be imbibed, but you will not find a revolutionary theme to be organized... My words are not only on fire. I am putting gunpowder also here and there, which will go on exploding for centuries. I am putting more than needed - I never take any chances. Almost each sentence is going to create trouble for anybody who wants to organize a religion around me." From Personality To Individuality - Osho
