Mind certainly is a mechanism for recording experiences from the outside, and reacting and responding accordingly.
It is not you….!!
Beyond mind, there is an awareness which is not given by the outside and which is not an idea -- and there is no experiment up to now which has found any center in the brain which corresponds to awareness…!
The whole work of religion, of meditation is to make you aware of all that is mind and disidentify yourself with it.
When the mind is angry, you should think, "It is simply a gramophone record."
When the mind is sad, you should simply remember: it is only a gramophone record.
A certain situation is pressing the remote controller, and you feel sad, you feel angry, you feel frustrated, you feel worried, you feel tense – all these things are coming from the outside, and the mind is responding to them.
But you are the watcher… You are not the actor. It is not your reaction!
Hence the whole art of meditation is to learn awareness, alertness, consciousness.
While you are feeling angry, don't repress it; let it be there. Just become aware. See it as if it is some object outside you.
Slowly slowly, go on cutting your identifications with the mind.
Then you have found your real individuality, your being, your soul....!!
Finding this awareness is enlightenment – you have become luminous...!*

One of our prime minister too was against him
To some extent, the hostile attitude of the surrounding society was demonstrated to Bhagwan, when in 1980 an attempt was made on his life. A young Hindu fundamentalist, Vilas Tupe, threw a knife into Bhagwana during the morning lecture, but missed [83] [84] [85] . In India, a banned film about the ashram appeared, in which cadres showing therapeutic groups were censored [73] , and shots with open criticism by Bhagwan of then-Prime Minister Morarji Desai , the head of the Indian government, offered to take a tougher stand against the ashram [86]. To all this hindsight, the exemption of the ashram from taxes was abolished, resulting in millions of tax claims [87] . The government ceased issuing visas for foreign visitors, who indicated the ashram as their main destination [82] [88] .
though morarji desai was controversial in his urine drinking therapy, but still.

So, he goes by Osho now? A Fraud by any other name is still a fraud. Can we get back to philosophy?
