Osho – Anger is a thought, sex is a thought. Just watch, be alert, let them move on the screen

Osho – Anger is a thought, sex is a thought. Just watch, be alert, let them move on the screen — anger, greed, lust — and you remain aloof, cool, just a witness. In the beginning it is very difficult, but only in the beginning. If you persist then within three to nine months you will be able to do the impossible.

One day it happens that your witness has become so perfect that the screen remains empty, nothing passes — no thought, no desire. That day you have attained to the first state of samadhi, the first satori. And the first satori is the beginning; it triggers many satoris in you, culminating ultimately into samadhi, into nirvana. When the mind becomes just a pure mechanism… when you want to use it, you use it, when you don’t want to use it, it remains silent.
