practice
"Let your restless mind be the fuel for your devotion; transform every thought and feeling into a surge toward the Divine, surrendering it all at His feet."
According to Osho, on the path of devotion your restless mind is not a hindrance but fuel. Don’t fight the waves; turn every thought, feeling, and surge toward the Divine. Infuse your restlessness with God's name and presence, and surrender it at His feet. Choose devotion consciously: accept yourself as you are, remember "Thy will," and let even turbulence become love’s movement.
When you feel jittery, aim all that energy at loving and remembering God, and hand your jitters over to Him.
