According to Osho, chitta vritti nirodha is not suppressing the mind’s movements but allowing them to cease through lucid, total awareness. Nirodha means that by seeing a vritti—like anger—completely, its poisonous nature is realized and it naturally subsides. Repression (virodha) only buries seeds that grow. Understanding is the alchemy: deep, present seeing dissolves modifications into stillness.
It means you don’t push thoughts and feelings away; you watch them so clearly that they calm down on their own.
