When will the sounds we hear stop?

“

Meditation is not about silencing the world, but about ending your inner reaction; when you become a clear witness, the sounds of life transform into a dreamlike symphony.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the sounds will never stop; meditation is not silencing the world but ending inner reaction. Hear everything while remaining a clear, alert witness—no stupefaction, no trance, no urge to run or retaliate. When reaction ceases, events feel dreamlike, and awareness deepens into samadhi. Absorption that blots out sound is only helpful for sleep, not true meditation.
Sounds won’t stop; you learn to hear them without reacting, while staying fully awake inside.
Why this matters practically
- Stay calm in noisy or stressful environments without escaping.
- Reduce anger and anxiety by witnessing triggers instead of fueling them.
- Cultivate alert presence (samadhi) rather than using meditation as a sedative.
