Osho Suchness Meditation

7 October 1978 pm in Chuang Tzu Auditorium

Osho - Deva means divine, idam means this-ness – the divinity of this-ness, the divinity of this moment. And it is the very essence of meditation: just this. To remain aware of just this is meditation – watching it, observing it, with no condemnation, with no evaluation, just remaining like a mirror. And slowly slowly the mind disappears, because the mind can live only in the past and through the past, or in the future and through the future.

The present moment becomes its grave: the mind cannot exist in this-ness. And to be in a no-mind is to be in meditation. This can become one of the greatest secrets. It can become the very key that unlocks the door of the divine. When something is passing through the mind, remember: just this. Don’t say it is good, don’t say it is bad; don’t compare it. Don’t desire that some thing be otherwise. Whatsoever is, is, and whatever is not, is not.

Man creates much misery out of this tension. He tries to attain that which is not, and he tends to forget that which is... and god consists of this.

For example, this crying – just deep inside make it a meditation. Just say deep down ’Just this.’ Don’t evaluate it, don’t think it should not be. Don’t think about what others will think. Let it be, and you just be a cool distant watcher. It is neither good nor bad – nothing is ever good or bad; things simply are. If we don’t judge, the mind starts disappearing. And to see reality without the mind is to see the truth. So I am giving you a name which can unlock all the mysteries.
