Osho, a spiritual leader, offers insights into meditation in this collection of excerpts. He contrasts meditation, a natural state of being, with concentration and contemplation, which are mind-based activities. Osho emphasizes the importance of dropping the mind's chatter to achieve a state of clarity and being, advocating for active meditations to release inner chaos before experiencing stillness. He critiques Western science's limited understanding of subjective experiences like meditation while also highlighting the West's growing interest in meditation as a response to material success's inability to provide inner fulfillment. Finally, he stresses the need for a holistic approach that integrates the spiritual and material aspects of life.
