Just Sit Silently
with Closed Eyes
by Osho
Meditation for Busy
People:
Whenever you
have time,
just sit silently with closed eyes.
Whenever you
have time, just sit silently with closed eyes.
It will help. It will help you to be more
at ease with yourself.
People have forgotten how to close their
eyes because they have forgotten how to go inwards.
Our whole interest is outside.
It is really a wonder how people manage to
sleep with closed eyes! Sooner or later they will start sleeping with open
eyes... and they will have their glasses on!
Our eyes have become very fixed on the
outside... almost paralyzed. They cannot move inwards, and that is the most
essential thing in life to learn, because we go on missing our real
treasure.
In the east that real treasure is called dharma.
We don't call the church religion, we don't call ritual religion; we call the
inner experience of one's being religion.
*****
Editor's Note: This
meditation for busy people is
extremely simple and can be done anywhere, anytime, and by anyone. It is simply this: Whenever you have time, just sit silently with closed eyes.

Recommended book:
Joy: The Happiness That Comes from Within
by Osho.
With an artful mix of compassion and humor, Osho shows us
that joy is the essence of life, that even unhappiness has its root in
joy. Osho encourages us to accept joy by being grateful to be alive and
for the challenges and opportunities in life, and by finding the good
in all that we have -- rather than setting conditions or demands for
happiness. By embracing joy, one comes closer to a true, peaceful, and
balanced state. Includes
an original 80-minute talk by Osho on DVD.
