practice
"Drop the demand for more and turn from the outer wine to the inner thirst; in the stillness of awareness, fulfillment and silence arise here and now."
According to Osho, quietness is lost by the mind's addiction to 'more' - even more meditation or intoxication. Drop the demand for more and turn from the outer wine to the inner thirst. Dive into the seeker, not the sought: sit in awareness, inquire 'Who am I?', and let the race stop. In this present, desire-free seeing, fulfillment and silence arise here and now.
Stop wanting more; just watch the wanting inside you, sit quietly, and your calm will show up by itself.
