##Polar Opposites <i>Â by Osho </i> <br /> By meditation Atisha never means concentration. <br />Concentration and meditation are polar opposites.<br /> Concentration narrows down your mind; <br />it is focusing on one point. <br />Concentration includes only something and excludes everything else. <br /> Meditation is all-inclusive, <br />it excludes nothing. <br />It is not a narrowing down of the mind, <br />it is an expansion of consciousness. <br />Concentration is of the mind, <br />meditation is of consciousness. <br /> Concentration is mind, <br />meditation is no-mind. <br />Concentration is a tension:<br /> you will be tired of it sooner or later. <br />You cannot concentrate for a long time,<br /> it is effort. <br />But one can be meditative twenty-four hours,<br /> because it is relaxation. <i>Osho, The Book of Wisdom #21</i> <br /> 2009-06-01T15:27:39Z 89 methoden 547 online 2009-09-16T15:31:53Z
