mind - meditation

[Guest guest]

it. Mind stops, but that is not out of your effort. Mind stops out of your

understanding. You just WATCH and try to see what is happening, why this mind

is rushing. It is not rushing without any reason. You must be ambitious. Try to

see WHY this mind is rushing, where it is rushing -- you must be ambitious. If

it thinks about money, then try to understand. Mind is not the question. You

start dreaming about money, that you have won a lottery or this and that, and

then you even start planning how to spend it, what to purchase and what not.

Or, the mind thinks you have become a president, a prime minister, and then you

start thinking what to do now, how to run the country, or the world. Just WATCH

the mind! what mind is going towards. There must be a deep seed in you. You

cannot stop the mind unless that seed disappears. The mind is simply following

the order of your innermost seed. Somebody is thinking about sex; then

somewhere there is repressed sexuality. Watch where mind is rushing. Look deep

into yourself, find where the seeds are.In the first place, you cannot succeed;

and it is good that you cannot succeed. If you CAN succeed, if you manage to

succeed, that will be very unfortunate -- you will become dull, you will lose

intelligence. With that speed there is intelligence, with that speed there is

continuous sharpening of the sword of thinking, logic, intellect. Please don't

try to stop it. I am not in favour of dullards, and I am not here to help

anybody to become stupid.I would not suggest that you stop the mind; rather,

that you understand. With understanding there happens a miracle. The miracle is

that with understanding, by and by, when you understand the causes and those

causes are looked into deeply, and through that looking deeply into those

causes, those causes disappear, mind slows down. But intelligence is not

lost, because mind is not forced.Ambition you carry on -- and you try to stop

the mind? Ambition creates the speed, so you are accelerating the speed -- and

putting a brake on the mind. You will destroy the whole subtle mechanism of the

mind, and mind is a very delicate phenomenon, the most delicate in the whole of

existence. So don't be foolish about it.Don't try to stop the mind. Let the

mind have its speed -- you watch.- osho
