“People want to follow meditation so that they can be happier.
And yet many find that it is really difficult to meditate.
But, if they learn how to become happy by having a clear direction in life,
meditation will happily follow them like a shadow”

“You have to quieten the mind so you can hear the whispers of your heart.
How do you quieten the mind?
You become aware - aware of the sources of its noisiness.
And then?
Then, you and your heart go like an arrow towards your destiny”

“Close your eyes and just try to feel, to listen:
all these wants and desires? are they even my own?
To whom does their voice belong?”

“A non-materialistic life is one where money is just a means —
happiness predominates,
joy predominates,
your individuality predominates.
You know who you are,
where you are going,
and you are not distracted”

There the light of the sun and the moon is shining:
still your mind to silence before that splendour.

We stand at that door,
holding the key in our hands
and then, fear grips us —
what if the door actually opens?
we will then have to change, as
all our excuses to keep sleep-walking through life will be instantly taken away
and so, we gently back away from the door
~ Osho on #awakening
