What is Meditation?
Excerpt 33. Meditation Is Silence
Mind means words, self means silence. Mind is nothing but all the words that you have accumulated; silence is that which has always been with you, it is not an accumulation. That is the meaning of self: it is your intrinsic quality. On the background of silence you go on accumulating words, and the words in total are known as "the mind".
Silence is meditation. It is a question of changing the gestalt, shifting the attention from words into silence – which is always there.
Osho, Ancient Music in the Pines
