Osho, Roots & Wings, Fifth Talk, Pg. 186


"People come to me and ask:
If we meditate, what will happen?
What will be the result?

Remember, meditation can never be result-oriented.
You will simply meditate, that's all.
Everything happens, but it will not be a result.
If you are seeking the result,
nothing will happen.
Meditation will be useless

When you seek a result, it is the mind;
when you don't seek a result, it is meditation.

Don't ask for the result.
Don't say:
What will happen?
If you think about what will happen,
you cannot meditate.

The mind goes on thinking about the result.
it cannot be here and now;
it is always in the future.
You are meditating and thinking:
When will the happiness come?
it has not come yet.

If you forget the result completely,
if there is not even a flicker in the mind
for the result,
not a single vibration moving into the future -
when you have become a silent pool, here and now -
everything happens...

For the mind,
the present is always sacrificed for the future,
and the future does not exist.

In meditation, the whole process is reversed.
The future is sacrificed for the present;
that which is not
is sacrificed for that which is.

There is no result, no conclusion."
