Attention means a silent alertness with no thoughts interfering. Develop it. You can develop it only by doing it; there is no other way. Do it more and you will develop it. Doing anything, being anywhere, try to develop it.
In this technique, firstly you have to develop attention. You have to develop a sort of attentive attitude, only then will this technique become possible, so then wherever your attention alights you can experience – you can experience yourself. Just by looking at a flower you can experience yourself. Then looking at a flower is not looking at the flower only, but at the looker also – but only if you know the secret of attention.

~ Osho

Nobody knows you, not even you, so don´t expect that anybody else should know you; it is not possible in the very nature of things.
We are strangers.
Perhaps by chance we have met and we are together, but our aloneness is there. Don´t forget it, because you have to work upon it. Only from there is your redemption, your salvation. But you are doing just the opposite: how to forget your aloneness? The boyfriend, the girlfriend; go to the movie, the football match; get lost in the crowd, dance in the disco, forget yourself, drink alcohol, take drugs, but somehow don´t let this aloneness come to your conscious mind – and there lies the whole secret.
You have to accept your aloneness, which in no way you can avoid. And there is no way to change its nature. It is your authentic reality. It is you.

~  Osho

The mind becomes the problem because you have taken thoughts so deeply inside you that you have forgotten completely the distance; that they are visitors, they come and go.
Always remember that which abides: that is your nature, your tao.
Always be attentive to that which never comes and never goes, just like the sky.
Change the gestalt: don´t be focused on the visitors, remain rooted in the host; the visitors will come and go.

~ Osho

Buddha said, ‘Be a light unto yourself.’
He is saying, ‘Remember my truth cannot be your truth, my light cannot be your light. Imbibe the spirit from me, become thirsty from me, let your search be intense and be totally devoted to it, learn the devotion of a truth-seeker from me – but the truth, the light, will burn within you.
You will have to kindle it within you’.

~ Osho

“Meditation will bring you sensitivity, a great sense of belonging to the world. It is our world – the stars are ours, and we are not foreigners here. We are part of it, we are the heart of it.”

~ Osho
