outcome
"Freedom comes not by fighting the mind's impressions, but by resting as a silent witness, allowing thoughts to exhaust themselves without resistance."
According to Osho, when impressions surge in the mind, do not try to get out of them; the very effort to escape creates the second pole of a struggler and perpetuates duality. Rest as a silent witness instead. Without resistance, thoughts exhaust themselves and subside; freedom comes not by fighting, but by noninterference.
If lots of thoughts show up, don’t fight them—just watch, and they settle down by themselves.
