¿Cómo hago de la meditación parte de mi vida cotidiana? Cuando la mente y los pensamientos desaparecen, te vuelves consciente. ¿Qué es atención plena? Es la consciencia. Osho explora los obstáculos internos y externos que impiden llevar más consciencia a todas nuestras actividades diarias.

Before the eyes can see with the clear vision of the Spirit, they must have grown incapable of the tears of wounded pride—unkind criticism—unmerited abuse—unfriendly remarks—slights—sarcasm—the annoyances of everyday life—the failures and disappointments of everyday existence. Take these thoughts with you into the silence, and let the truth sink into your mind, that it may take root, grow, blossom, and bear fruit. Kill out ambition. Kill out desire of life. Kill out desire of comfort. Work as those work who are ambitious. Respect life as those who desire it.
