"Ignore the chaos of the mind and pour your energy into joy, love, and silence; what you nourish grows, and what you ignore withers away."
According to Osho, when the mind turns into a lunatic asylum, don't fight it or dissect it. Become friendly, refuse antagonism, and stop feeding it your attention. Attention is nourishment. Ignore the chaos and pour all your energy into what is sane—joy, love, and silence. What you nourish grows; what you ignore withers and dies.
Don’t battle the noisy thoughts—calmly ignore them and give your care to joy, love, and quiet so the noise shrinks on its own.
