What happens when I follow my mind in all its extremes?

When you stop chasing the extremes of the mind and embrace the present, you discover a profound center where you feel intensely alive, innocent, and divine. Life is a dance of balancing opposites, requiring your alertness in each moment.

— Osho
According to Osho, chasing the mind’s extremes—left or right, past or future—keeps you outside yourself; but if you don’t cling and allow the natural swing, a subtle inner midpoint appears in the living present. Crossing it brings an implosion: you feel intensely alive, innocent, pure, divine. This center cannot be fixed once-for-all; life demands moment-to-moment balancing between opposites with alertness.

Let your mind swing without grabbing either side; in that movement you briefly touch a quiet, bright spot inside.
