Who should understand when the mind has to cease?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The mind must understand its own absurdities, for in that understanding, it dissolves, revealing the contentless awareness that has always been within you."
According to Osho, it is the mind that must understand—not the real you. Understanding is a deliberate persuasion addressed to the mind; like a poison, it dissolves the mind’s grip until it drops by itself, revealing your already-present, contentless awareness. Don’t fight the mind; gently expose its absurdities through meditation and insight.
Why this matters practically
- Stop battling thoughts; kindly persuade the mind to relax and release.
- Use meditation and inquiry to see the futility of ego-striving.
- Recognize suffering as self-made, so it can drop rather than be forced.
