"Thinking becomes contemplation when it moves not through association but is directed. You are working on a particular problem, then you bracket out all associations. You move on that problem only: you direct your mind. The mind will try to escape from any by-path to any sideway--to some association. You cut off all the sideways. On only one road, you direct your mind.
A scientist working on a problem is in contemplation. A logician working on a problem, a mathematician working on a problem, is in contemplation. A poet contemplates a flower: then the whole world is bracketed out and only that flower remains and the poet, and he moves with the flower. Many things from the sideways will attract. He does not allow his mind to move anywhere. Mind moves in one line directed. This is contemplation." Osho – THE BOOK OF SECRETS
