"Exhaustion of the body-mind does not diminish energy; it redirects it inward, awakening the deeper dimensions of your being and leading you to profound meditation."
According to Osho, deliberately tiring the ‘yourself’—the body-mind and sense organs—doesn’t diminish energy; it exhausts the outlets that normally dissipate it. Simultaneously, kundalini is stirred. With eyes, ears, and mind too weary to function, the newly awakened energy cannot flow outward and thus turns inward, activating supersensory centers. Then inner seeing, inner hearing (Nad), and subtle fragrance arise spontaneously—ushering deep meditation from the fresh energy working through untired, inner dimensions.
When the outer senses get really tired, your hidden inner senses wake up, and your energy naturally turns inward into deep meditation.
Why this matters practically
- Clarifies why tiring, cathartic methods can culminate in silence without mental struggle.
- Offers a practice hint: exhaust outer senses so awakened energy turns inward.
- Helps you trust inner phenomena (sound, light) as indicators of meditative depth.
