The Mind: a beautiful servant, a dangerous master 

Osho analyses the function of the human mind in connection with meditation. Responding here to a question related to a space of ‘no-mind’ or mindfulness he says: ‘meditation covers a very long pilgrimage. When I say ‘meditation is witnessing’, it is the beginning of meditation. And when I say ‘meditation is no-mind, ‘ it is the completion of the pilgrimage. Witnessing is the beginning, and no-mind is the fulfillment. Witnessing is the method to reach the no-mind. Naturally you will feel witnessing is easier. It is close to you. But witnessing is only like seeds, and then is the long waiting period. ‘
