What is
Meditation
by Osho
Meditation
comes to
you. It
always
comes;
you
cannot
bring it.
But one
has to be
in search
of it,
because
only when
you are
in search
will you
be open
to it,
vulnerable
to it.
You are a
host to
it.
Meditation
is a
guest.
You can
invite it
and wait
for it.
It comes
to
Buddha,
it comes
to Jesus,
it
comes to
everybody
who is
ready,
who is
open and
seeking.

What is
Meditation
(Beginners)
Meditation
does not
discriminate
between
Religion,
Race,
Age,
Status
and
Intelligence
of the
person.
Meditation
equally
belongs
to
everyone.
But one
should be
ready to
lose
Misery,
Shallowness,
Jealousy
and
Hatred as
the price
of
admission
in world
of
meditation.

What is
Meditation
by Kiran
Bhai
(Advanced
seekers)
You are
conscious
of that
person,
you are
conscious
of the
reaction,
which is happening
inside.
But you
are not
jumping
into any
kind of
judgment
or
action,
but you
are
staying
with it.
That is
what we
call the
acceptance
state.
And that
state
results
into a
state of
meditation.
That
meditative
state is
an
oneness
state.
One,
where you
are gone,
he is
gone, and
this is
what my
definition
of
meditation
is. This
is
meditation.

Watching is meditation. What you watch
is irrelevant by Osho
You can watch the trees, you can watch
the river, you can watch the clouds, you can watch
children playing around. Watching is meditation. What
you watch is not the point; the object is not the point.
The quality of observation, the quality of being aware
and alert – that’s what meditation is.
- Watch -- don't try to
stop. There is no need to do any action against the mind by
Osho
In the first place,
who will do it? It will be mind fighting mind itself.
You will divide your mind into two; one that is trying
to boss over -- the top-dog -- trying to kill the other
part of itself, which is absurd. It is a foolish game.
It can drive you crazy. Don't try to stop the mind or
the thinking -- just watch it, allow it. Allow it total
freedom. Let it run as fast as it wants. You don't try
in any way to control it. You just be a witness. It is
beautiful!

With the
disappearance of the Mind all desires disappear, all
tensions disappear, all anxieties Disappear by Osho
Meditation is a state
of awareness, watchfulness, witnessing. Ordinarily we
live just like a robot: we go through all the gestures
of living, but they are only gestures; there is no
consciousness behind it. We are functioning like a
mechanism. And that's what the society wants us to do.
The society needs machines, not men.

What
is meant by Prayer, Concentration and Meditation (Jiddu
Krishnamurti)
Concentration is often confused with Meditation and so is
the case with Prayer. Many people take Prayer and
concentration exercises to be Meditation
