Learning to Silence the Mind  (English, Paperback, Osho)

This book brings to the readers the art of silencing and calming down their minds, not by some exotic ritual but through meditation and understanding.

Summary of the Book

In his book, Learning to Silence the Mind, Osho provides his readers a deep insight into the functioning of the mind. He writes that our mind is extraordinarily creative and it has the power to deal with the daily challenges. But instead of treating our mind like a helpful servant, we let it master our lives. The mind has ambitions, interpretations and its own belief system, which constantly forces the it to get into an argument or conflict with other minds, which are different from ours. Osho mentions the need of a virtual switch that can silence the mind for sometime, thereby giving it sometime to rest and rejuvenate.

In Learning to Silence the Mind, Osho asks his readers to turn off their thinking switch once in a while, not by some exotic ritual but by understanding, watchfulness and meditation. A relaxed and calm mind is always sharper and will help in taking better decisions.
