About Meditation
" Meditation is the basis of this whole movement, the essential of my whole way of life. And it simply means becoming a witness -- of everything -- on three layers.
Becoming a witness of all the activities of your body. Walking, you should walk consciously. I can move this hand consciously. I can move this hand mechanically, without knowing. And you can see the difference between the two, when you move it mechanically and when you move it consciously. When you move it consciously there is no tension, there is a grace, a beauty, a joy. So every act of the body has to be witnessed.
When you become very accustomed of witnessing your body and seeing it as separate, as if somebody else is walking on the road and you are just seeing, sitting on a hill, then the second step: start watching your mind.
Look at the thoughts without any evaluation, without any judgment, as if you are not concerned: a traffic passing by and you are standing by the side of the road.
And a miracle happens. As you become more and more clearly a witness, thoughts start disappearing. Ninety percent a witness, ten percent thoughts. Hundred percent a witness, zero thoughts.
And that is the point when you can move to the third step: now witness your feelings, moods, which are more subtle. And when you become a witness of your moods -- that is, your heart -- the fourth step happens on its own accord. You don't have to take it.
These three steps you take it; fourth is the reward. When the third is complete, suddenly one day you find a quantum leap in your consciousness. Everything has disappeared; you are conscious only of consciousness. You are aware only of awareness. And there is absolute silence. But that silence is not empty. It is full of light and full of bliss and full of fragrance. And this is what I call enlightenment.
Meditation is the way; enlightenment is the success, the achievement. "
---- Osho.
