"Drop all effort and simply relax; in deep rest, your inner growth unfolds effortlessly."
According to Osho, improve silent sitting by dropping all effort and simply relaxing—‘sitting silently, doing nothing.’ Even if you fall asleep, it’s a “perfect spiritual activity,” because in deep rest the inner growth happens by itself—what Basho called grass, Osho calls God. Stop stirring trouble; create a restful, non-doing atmosphere and trust natural unfolding.
Don’t try hard—just rest quietly (even nap if it happens) and let calm and growth come by themselves.

- Reduces strain and over-efforting that block meditation.
- Builds trust in natural inner growth through patience and rest.
