What is the idea of 'Be still' as expressed by Jesus?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Be still does not mean to strive for stillness; it is the effortless recognition that silence is already present when you cease the urge to achieve."
According to Osho, “Be still” means don’t try to become still—drop methods, the ‘how,’ and all inner “shoulds.” Restlessness is born from striving. Simply be where you are, consent to what is, and stillness reveals itself. It’s an immediate, non-doing recognition; when the urge to achieve quiet ceases, silence is already present.
Stop trying to get calm; just be with what’s here now, and calm shows up by itself.
