Ask Osho!

What should be done with many thoughts that arise in the mind during sadhana?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Surrender to the flow of energy within, for in humility and presence, thoughts will naturally settle and the mind will find its peace."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, when many thoughts arise during sadhana, don’t wrestle with them; come to the practice with humility and inwardly bow. Surrender opens you to the living flow of energy, while resistance feeds the mind. Simply be present, receive, and let the current pass through—then thoughts naturally settle as presence deepens.
When your mind gets busy, gently let go and bow inside—just sit, receive, and the thoughts calm by themselves.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces inner struggle during meditation
- Opens receptivity to energy and clarity by surrendering control
- Builds consistency: show up at practice time and let the process unfold
