Treasures: Should I Use Meditation Or Use Techniques?

"Meditation is witnessing. To meditate means to become a witness. Meditation is not a technique at all.

This will be very confusing to you because I go on giving you techniques.

In the ultimate sense meditation is not a technique; meditation is an understanding, awareness. But you need techniques because that final understanding is very far away from you; hidden deep in you, but still very far away from you.

Right this moment you can attain it, but you will not attain it because your moment goes on, your mind goes on. 

This very moment it is possible and yet impossible.

Techniques will bridge the gap; they are just to bridge the gap.

So in the beginning techniques are meditations; in the end, you will laugh, techniques are not meditation. Meditation is a totally different quality of being; it has nothing to do with anything.

But it will happen only in the end; don’t think it has happened in the beginning, otherwise the gap will not be bridged." - Osho
