According to Osho, perception through the mind is only a mirrorlike play of thoughts—reflections, projections, dreams—thus unreal (maya). True perception begins when thinking stops and you rest as pure witnessing. In no-thought awareness the mind drops, vision clears, and what is seen is real. The depth of your awareness determines how much reality you can actually know.
With a busy mind you see reflections and dreams; quiet the mind and just watch, and the real world appears.
