According to Osho, mere waiting will never clear the waters if you stand in the current; your very presence keeps stirring the mud. Wait with infinite readiness, but step onto the bank—be a detached witness of the mind’s river. From that distance, impatience subsides, clarity arises swiftly, and the stream grows still. Meditation is this art of waiting combined with watchful awareness, not time alone.
Don’t just wait inside the muddle—step out and quietly watch, and it will settle by itself.
