Osho: Just 48 minutes of silence until enlightenment.

Osho: Just 48 minutes of silence until enlightenment.

A noisy person will never find happiness; Here we need the music of silence. But our brains are too noisy. We carry in our heads a noisy bazaar and all kinds of nonsense. And each of us is not one person. We have a crowd inside, where everyone fights, pushes and strives for power. Every fragment of our brain wants to become the most important thing. This is a complete internal policy.

Happiness is only possible if the war in our minds stops. And this war can be stopped; It's not that hard to get over it. All it takes is awareness.

Start observing the noise in your mind. Slowly you will begin to understand that you have a madhouse inside your head. And we have to live in this nightmare!

Through observation a miracle will happen: what you observe will evaporate. And once it evaporates, you will be left alone with silence. At first there will only be spaces, small spaces between thoughts. Through these small windows you can look at reality. Soon the gaps will become great; They will come more often, they will last longer.

The ancient mystics calculated - and I completely agree with them - that if a person can remain completely still for forty-eight minutes, he achieves enlightenment, he achieves complete happiness. After that there is no going back. You have moved beyond time, beyond its quicksand. You have reached the rock of eternity.

🍀 Osho.
