Is 'sitting silently doing nothing' the same as 'looking into one's own being'?

According to Osho, 'sitting silently doing nothing' is not the same as 'looking into one's own being.' Looking is still a subtle doing, sustained by effort and desire, hence ego and tension. Non-doing means no movement inward or outward, no goal—even nirvana. In pure, desireless awareness—non-seeking—the division of in/out dissolves, and samadhi happens by itself, as something allowed, not achieved.

Looking inside is still trying; real meditation is stopping all trying and just being here without wanting anything.
