Why Osho Active Meditation
Techniques is needed in beginning?
Osho :
"In Buddha's time, dynamic methods of meditation were not needed. People
were more simple, more authentic. They lived a more real life. Now, people
are living a very repressed life, a very unreal life.
When they don't want
to smile, they smile. When they want to be angry, they show compassion.
People are false, the whole life pattern is false. People are just acting,
not living. Many incomplete experiences go on being collected, piled up
inside their minds.
"Just sitting directly in silence won't help. The moment you will sit
silently, you will see all sorts of things moving inside you; you will feel
it almost impossible to be silent. First throw those things out so you come
to a natural state of rest. Real meditation starts only when you are at
rest."
All the dynamic meditations are preparatory to real meditation. They are
just basic requirements to be fulfilled so that the meditation can happen.
Don't treat them as meditations; they are just introductory, just a preface.
The real meditation starts only when all activity has ceased -- activity of
the body and activity of the mind.
