Ignore Quote by Osho
““Don’t do anything, just ignore…and it is not difficult, it is a very simple phenomenon. For example, there is a chair in your room. Can’t you ignore it? Do you have to do something about it? There is no need to do anything about it. Just take a look at the contents of your mind from a distance, just a little distance so that you can see, “This is anger, this is sadness, this is anguish, this is anxiety, this is worry,” and so on and so forth. Let them be there. “I am unconcerned. I am not going to do anything for or against.” And they will start disappearing.””
