What is the meaning of intention?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Intention is a distraction; true understanding arises from your own direct knowing, not from probing the motives of others."
According to Osho, intention is beside the point; probing another’s motives only feeds the mind. What matters is your own direct knowing. Asking about a teacher’s intention is a distraction—if you truly know, the whole matter is finished. Turn from analyzing others to awakening awareness; then questions about intention evaporate.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts attention from others’ motives to your own awareness; - Encourages self-knowing instead of dependence on a teacher; - Ends mental rumination by resting in direct knowing.
