Psychology Quote by OSHO
“Mastery of the mind is yoga. And when Patanjali says â¬cessation of the mindâ¬, this is meant: cessation as a master. Mind ceases as a master. Then it is not active. Then it is a passive instrument. You order, it works; you don⬢t order, it remains still. It is just waiting. It cannot assert by itself. The assertion is lost; the violence is lost. It will not try to control you.”
