Mind can never be intelligent - only no-mind is intelligent. Only no-mind is original and radical.
Only no-mind is revolutionary - revolution in action.
This mind gives you a sort of stupor. Burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future, you go on living - at the minimum. You don't live at the maximum. Your flame remains very dim.
Once you start dropping thoughts, the dust that you have collected in the past, the flame arises - clean, clear, alive, young. Your whole life becomes a flame, and a flame without any smoke. That is what awareness is.
Osho A Sudden Clash of Thunder Chapter 1
Commentary:The veil of illusion, or maya, that has been keeping you from perceiving reality as it is, is starting to burn away. The fire is not the heated fire of passion, but the cool flame of awareness. As it burns the veil, the face of a very delicate and childlike buddha becomes visible.
The awareness that is growing in you now is not the result of any conscious "doing", nor do you need to struggle to make something happen. Any sense you might have had that you've been groping in the dark is dissolving now, or will be dissolving soon. Let yourself settle, and remember that deep inside you are just a witness, eternally silent, aware and unchanged.
A channel is now opening from the circumference of activity to that center of witnessing. It will help you to become detached, and a new awareness will lift the veil from your eyes.
頭腦給你一種昏迷。被過去的記憶和未來的投射重重地壓在身上，我們繼續過著最小量的生活。你並沒有以最大量來生活，你的火焰仍然非常地暗淡無光。一旦你開始拋棄思想，拋棄那個你在過去所累積的灰塵，那個火焰就會揚起，它是潔淨的、清楚的、活生生的和新鮮的。你的整個生命變成一道火焰，一道沒有煙的火焰，那就是覺知。
在你裡面成長的覺知並不是任何有意識的「作為」的結果，你也不需要去奮鬥才使這件事發生。你一直在黑暗中摸索的那種感覺現在正在消失，或者不久之後將會消失。讓你自己鎮定下來，記住：在你的內在深處只是一個觀照，它永遠都是寧靜、覺知和不變的。
現在從活動的外圍到觀照的中心有一條通道已經打開了，它將能夠幫助你變得更超然，一種新的覺知將會從你的眼睛揭開那個面紗。
