Meditation will make you awake, strong and humble. Meditation will make you awake because it will give you the first experience of yourself.
You are not the body, you are not the mind - you are the pure witnessing consciousness. And when this witnessing consciousness is touched, a great awakening happens - as if a snake was sitting coiled up and suddenly it uncoils, as if somebody was asleep and has been shaken and awakened.
Suddenly a great awakening inside: for the first time you feel you are. For the first time you feel the truth of your being.
Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent.
But for most of us accumulated stress in our body mind makes that difficult.
Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions.
Jetzt bist du es nicht mehr, der atmet, sondern das Ganze atmet in dir.
Osho
