A RELAXED STILLNESS ( OSHO)
The modern mind is feeling very alienated from god for a simple reason-that never before in history was man in such a hurry as modern man is. Never was man so impatient as modern man is, & that is the barrier: modern man has forgotten how to wait. He wants things instantly, he wants them now. He cannot wait for the spring to come. He cannot wait for the seed to die and grow and become a tree. He has lost all patience.
The is one of the characteristics of the modern man: he has no patience in his heart, and that is making him very ill. Constantly running, rushing and reaching nowhere, because all that the inner soul desires needs waiting, needs time, needs a relaxed stillness-no hurry, no speed, because we are not going anywhere. We are just to be still and silent,herenow,and god comes.
