Synthesized from Source
definition
"Feed your mind with pure literature, for what you consume shapes your inner world and determines your capacity for peace and meditation."
According to Osho, the mind is built from whatever we feed our senses; so choose a pure 'diet'—including what you read. Uplifting, truthful literature supports peace and meditation, while sensational clutter breeds restlessness. Conserve energy by engaging only what’s needed and letting the rest relax; combined with right sensory intake, this creates the inner reservoir that lets you enter meditation swiftly.
What you read fills your mind, so pick good, calming books and let your body rest to stay peaceful inside.
