How to remain thoughtless?

"Thoughtlessness arises not from battling thoughts, but from the relaxed witness within you, allowing thoughts to pass like clouds while resting in the silence of your being."
According to Osho, thoughtlessness isn’t achieved by fighting thoughts but by relaxed witnessing. Sit quietly, feel your breath, and simply watch thoughts come and go like clouds, neither following nor suppressing them. This choiceless awareness opens natural gaps; resting in these spaces, the mind settles into no-mind. Practice often—in meditation and daily acts—returning to present sensation, allowing silence to deepen without effort.
Don’t fight thoughts—just watch them pass like clouds until quiet spaces appear.
