What happens when one experiences bliss in relation to the mind?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Bliss arises not from the mind, but in the silence that follows its dissolution; it is the fragrance of pure emptiness, untouched by thought or technique."
According to Osho, bliss is not something the mind experiences; it appears when the mind’s methods, supports, and identifications drop. Through negation or direct affirmation, when you become methodless and resourceless, the mental machinery falls silent, leaving pure emptiness. That no-mind emptiness is moksha/nirvana—the very fragrance of bliss, beyond thought and technique.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces overthinking by pointing you toward silence rather than more techniques.
- Offers a clear practice: keep dropping identifications until ease appears by itself.
- Builds courage to let go of mental props during stress, revealing calm clarity.
