Inverted Mind
Every time we try for peace of mind and all the methods give only temporary relief. Mind gets adjusted with it and again it begins its work to disturb the peace.
While learning from teachings of Buddha, Lao Tzu and their unique mix Zen, the thought of “why at all the God has given us mind?”, And as all other creatures and nature is always in happy mood, “Why we are deprived of this natural happiness?” came to everyone, who is a social and intelligent human being.
Our mind acts as a prism, which breaks down or split the light ray to seven colours called Rainbow. Our mind is a different kind of prism and it breaks down everything that we sense into two. Light and dark, cool and warm, mine and others etc etc.
If ray of light converted into a Rainbow is again allowed to pass through an inverted prism then that inverted prism will again get combined into a light ray. This is where the Prism and Inverted Prism together act as if there was no prism in the path of the light ray.
This scientific fact is being used to describe my understanding about no-mind state described by Buddha, Lao Tzu and Jesus – as Jesus-consciousness (as per my info from Osho talks).
Ancient Indian sages devised Sheerasana i.e. A Yoga that requires one to stand inverted on one’s head instead of legs. This Yoga has nothing to do with inversion of mind as one can see everything upside down only.
We have five senses and they are able to sense with the help of its recognition, interpretation etc by the mind. The interpreted information gets converted into personal information due to difference in experiences, vocabulary, knowledge of that person. That is why after hearing a sentence, or when scent is smelled or scene is watched by many they all interpret its meaning or essence quite different from all others.
As per Osho, all these senses have two ends from one end we are able to see outside to inside and there it has to pass through the mind. Another end which is inside is also able to see/hear/smell/taste/touch from inside to outside. All unexplained experiences are from inside to outside use of senses but the moment passes through so fast that we remained in a state of awe, and it passes.
This is Inverted mind in use and if one is able to join his/her mind and no-mind together then he/she is able to see through the existence. This is where eternal Peace of Mind is achieved. God and his creation both at the same time but then the seer of the scene is lost – as per Osho. By practice it happens.
To know about Osho’s NAV Sannyas or neo sannyas, a way of life to live by fulfilling all personal and societal obligations while retaining oneself as pure for spiritual progress whenever free time available in life. Then focussing fully on self awareness when free from all responsibilities or by taking decision and be free from them.
Awareness meditation is the way worked for me, may be you too find it suitable otherwise Dynamic meditation is for most of the people. There are 110 other meditation techniques discovered by Indian Mystic Gorakhnath about 500years before and further modified by Osho that one can experiment and the suitable one could be practiced in routine life.
Osho International Online (OIO) provides facility to learn these from your home,

3. There is a 7 days Free Trial also for people who would like to first try it out.
This is an opportunity for learning and knowing Osho through these sannyasins who lived in his presence and brought to life his words in best possible quality in all formats.
Disciples of Jesus left him alone in last minutes but Osho’s disciples remained with him till he left his body willingly after working, till last day, for all of us to get enlightened. Jesus tried hard till last minute, before being caught, to teach meditation to his disciples. As per Saint John’s Gospel:- Jesus used word ‘Sit’ to transfer his meditative energy to them and went on to pray God, but on returning he found them sleeping. He tried two times again but in vain.
Even today Zen people use word ‘Sit’ for meditation in their saying ‘Sit silently, do nothing, season comes and the grass grows by itself green’.
