The Mind: a beautiful servant, a dangerous master (Electronic book text, Digital Only)

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.
