Here is the link to download this free book from Osho's Library of teachings.

This is a phenomenal teaching on doing not doing. Simply, the law of reverse effect is put into practice where one stops trying and lets go or allows life to be as it is completely thus opening the door for truth. In other words, in Oshos's words, trying creates tension, tension restricts or tightens one within thus narrowing the path or closing the door to truth, hence truth cannot enter a closed door, but when one drops trying and allows or accepts the door begins to open, the tension releases and truth can begin to enter.

When one doesn't do what the thoughts desire, one is, Be-ing as one is not the thoughts, thought happens within one.

Enlightenment is not something to do or to be attained, it is undoing or letting go of what's been done, a returning to original, empty, still, silent mind, as only when the cup is empty and still is it as it naturally is, only in this state can it BE..... filled! Within silence is where one is both emptied and filled as silence is not divided, it neither just empties or just fills it does both as one hence emptiness is fulfillment, death is life, letting go is having.

Let go of the limiting chains of finite reason and trust in the infinite ALL Knowing Silent Truth.

I am all for doing nothing! If possible, of course.

Whenever people ask my friend Roger what he does for a living, he replies "As little as possible!"

In fact, I think I will not look at your link. I think your summary is very elucidating, very coherent and comprehensible and complete, I think it will be enough for me!

"The heavenly ecstasy of not responding to stimulus!"

Simple, Beautiful, Enlightenment at its core.

When one can spend a perfect day doing nothing, then one has surely learned (remembered) how to live!
