Which meditation technique should I practice? || Acharya Prashant (2011)

Question: I have been reading Osho’s book ‘Vigyan Bhairav’ and in this book Lord Shiva explained 112 meditation techniques to keep the mind in present. However, Osho has also said that, “meditation is a quality of being that you bring to the act”.

I am confused as Osho has contradicted his own statement?

I have also read your blog: Don’t chase the Truth just stop running away from the Truth

You have said,”You just stop, enlightenment will chase you. You just stop, enlightenment will take hold of you. You just stop! God is more eager to have you than all your eagerness to have him”.

I hope in India these 112 meditation techniques are being practiced by most of the spiritual mentors. What do you think about these 112 meditation techniques? Are these techniques real or help us to understand Truth/God or these are just illusion created by the mind.

If truth is beyond mind then what is Lord Shiva trying to explain through these meditation techniques?

Are these techniques effective in this new era? In present time how to keep our mind in present?
