How can I conquer my mind?

"Do not fight your mind; simply become aware and watch, for in clear witnessing, the mind dissolves into the non-substantial."
According to Osho, the very urge to 'conquer' mind breeds failure; mind is like a shadow—try to catch it and it keeps fleeing. Do not fight, control, or tire it; simply become aware and watch. In clear witnessing, the so‑called mind is seen as non-substantial and dissolves. Awakening reveals there is no 'horse' to break—only ignorance. Let go, observe, and rest in awareness.
Stop trying to fight your thoughts; just watch them, and like a shadow in light, they lose power and fade.
