OSHO - When you are not doing anything at all

When you are not doing anything at all - bodily, mentally, on no level - when all activity has ceased and you simply are, just being, that's what meditation is. You cannot do it, you cannot practice it; you have only to understand it.
Whenever you can find time for just being, drop all doing. Thinking is also doing, concentration is also doing, contemplation is also doing. Even if for a single moment you are not doing anything and you are just at your center, utterly relaxed - that is meditation. And once you have got the knack of it, you can remain in that state as long as you want; finally you can remain in that state for twenty-four hours a day.
Once you have become aware of the way your being can remain undisturbed, then slowly you can start doing things, keeping alert that your being is not stirred. That is the second part of meditation. First, learning how just to be, and then learning little actions: cleaning the floor, taking a shower, but keeping yourself centered. Then you can do complicated things.
For example, I am speaking to you, but my meditation is not disturbed. I can go on speaking, but at my very center there is not even a ripple; it is just silent, utterly silent.
So meditation is not against action.
It is not that you have to escape from life.
It simply teaches you a new way of life:
You become the center of the cyclone.
Your life goes on, it goes on really more intensely - with more joy, with more clarity, more vision, more creativity - yet you are aloof, just a watcher on the hills, simply seeing all that is happening around you.
You are not the doer, you are the watcher.
That's the whole secret of meditation, that you become the watcher. Doing continues on its own level, there is no problem: chopping wood, drawing water from the well. You can do all small and big things; only one thing is not allowed and that is, your centering should not be lost.
That awareness, that watchfulness, should remain absolutely unclouded, undisturbed.
Meditation is a very simple phenomenon.
*****************************
Osho, born Chandra Mohan Jain (1931 - 1990), also known as Acharya Rajneesh from the 1960s onwards, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh during the 1970s and 1980s and Osho in 1989, was an Indian mystic and spiritual teacher who garnered an international following. His syncretic teachings emphasize the importance of meditation, awareness, love, celebration, creativity and humor, qualities he viewed as being suppressed by adherence to static belief systems, religious tradition and socialization.
Osho, a professor of philosophy, travelled throughout India in the 1960s as a public speaker, speaking against socialism, Gandhism and institutionalized religion and advocating a more open attitude towards sexuality, a stance that earned him the sobriquet "sex guru" in the Indian and later the international press. He reinterpreted writings of religious traditions, mystics and philosophers from around the world.
Osho delighted in being paradoxical and engaging in behavior that seemed entirely at odds with traditional images of enlightened individuals...
His ideas are rooted in Hindu advaita, in which the human experiences of separateness, duality and temporality are held to be a kind of dance or play of cosmic consciousness in which everything is sacred, has absolute worth and is an end in itself.
Osho also drew on a wide range of Western ideas: His view of the unity of opposites recalls Heraclitus, while his descriptions of man as a machine, condemned to the helpless acting out of unconscious, neurotic patterns, has much in common with both Freud and Gurdjieff. His vision of the "new man" transcending constraints of convention is reminiscent of Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil and his views on sexual liberation bear comparison to D. H. Lawrence.
1. Never obey anyone's command unless it is coming from within you also.
2. There is no God other than life itself.
3. Truth is within you, do not search for it elsewhere.
4. Love is prayer.
5. To become a nothingness is the door to truth. Nothingness itself is the means, the goal and attainment.
6. Life is now and here.
7. Live wakefully.
8. Do not swim -- float.
9. Die each moment so that you can be new each moment.
10. Do not search. That which is, is. Stop and see.

Yes, the music puts you in a trance. It is from the ballet La Bayadère: The Kingdom of the Shades by the Austrian/Czech composer Ludwig Minkus.
The subject of The Kingdom of the Shades is not really death, although everybody in it except the hero is dead. It's Elysian bliss, and its setting is eternity. The long slow repeated-arabesque sequence creates the impression of a grand crescendo that seems to annihilate all time. No reason it could not go on forever ...
