Learning To Silence The Mind

By (author) Osho
Short description/annotation
The mind, says Osho, has the potential to be enormously creative in dealing with the challenges of everyday life, and the problems of the world in which we live. The difficulty, however, is that instead of using the mind as a helpful servant we have largely allowed it to become the master of our lives. The book deals with meditation.
Description
The mind, says Osho, has the potential to be enormously creative in dealing with the challenges of everyday life, and the problems of the world in which we live. The difficulty, however, is that instead of using the mind as a helpful servant we have largely allowed it to become the master of our lives. Its ambitions, belief systems, and interpretations rule our days and our nights - bringing us into conflict with minds that are different from ours, keeping us awake at night rehashing those conflicts or planning the conflicts of tomorrow, and disturbing our sleep and our dreams. If only there was a way to switch it off and give it a rest! Finding the switch that can silence the mind - not by force or performing some exotic ritual, but through understanding, watchfulness, and a healthy sense of humour - is meditation. A sharper, more relaxed and creative mind - one that can function at the peak of its unique intelligence - is the potential. The book will include a link to tutorials on OSHO Nadabrahma Meditation.
