The difficulty, however, is that instead of using the mind as a helpful servant we have largely allowed it to become the master of our lives. Its ambitions, belief systems, and interpretations rule our days and our nights--bringing us into conflict with minds that are different from ours, keeping us awake at night rehashing those conflicts or planning the conflicts of tomorrow, and disturbing our sleep and our dreams. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf only there was a way to switch it off and give it a rest  Finding the switch that can silence the mind--not by force or performing some exotic ritual, but through understanding, watchfulness, and a healthy sense of humor--is meditation. A sharper, more relaxed and creative mind--one that can function at the peak of its unique intelligence--is the potential. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book includes a link to tutorials on OSHO Nadabrahma Meditation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eOsho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness.
