On which plane does the meditator reach the no-thought state?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"In the fifth body, the meditator transcends thought entirely, entering a profound silence that is not merely the absence of noise, but a state of pure being beyond all comparison."
According to Osho, the meditator attains the complete no‑thought state on the fifth body (fifth plane). In the fourth body, only intermittent gaps between thoughts are seen—the mind alternates between thoughts and silence as attention shifts. On the fifth, thoughts disappear and silence stabilizes, though it still contrasts with speech; true emptiness lies even beyond this comparative silence.
You fully stop thoughts on the fifth level; on the fourth you only glimpse the quiet gaps between them.
Why this matters practically
- Train attention to notice gaps between thoughts to deepen meditation.
- Don’t be discouraged when silence and thoughts alternate; it’s a normal fourth-stage sign.
- Aim to stabilize attention beyond thoughts, moving toward deeper inner stillness.
