"Pondering a parable is not about analysis or memorization; it is about allowing its fragrance to silently permeate your being until insight arises effortlessly."
According to Osho, pondering a parable is not repeating, analyzing, or memorizing it; it is the second step after pure, relaxed hearing. Let the story’s ‘fragrance’ spread silently through you—no inner commentary, no tension—like music soaking into a sponge. Allow it to vibrate in your being until insight becomes effortless, then let it express itself as living.
Listen calmly without thinking about it, let its feeling sink in, and then live from what naturally changes in you.
