The original source of all tension is 'becoming'. One is always trying to be something; no one is at ease with himself as he is. The being is not accepted, the being is denied, and something else is taken as an ideal to become. So the basic tension is always between that which you are, and that which you long to become.

The Psychology of the Esoteric.

This is the situation of your head: I see cycle-handles and pedals and strange things that you have gathered from everywhere. Such a small head.... and no space to live in! And that rubbish goes on moving in your head; your head goes on spinning and weaving-it keeps you occupied. Just think what kind thoughts go on inside your mind. One day just sit, close your doors, and write down for half an hour whatsoever is passing in your mind, and you will understand what I mean and you will be surprised what goes on inside your mind. It remains in the background, it is constantly there, it surrounds you like a cloud. With this cloud you cannot know reality; you cannot attain to spiritual perception. This cloud has to be dropped. And it is just with your decision to drop it that it will disappear. You are clinging to it-the cloud is not interested in you, remember it. OSHO The Sun Rises In The Evening. Chapter 9.
