"Trust your inner rhythm; timing is merely a guideline, and true meditation unfolds in the silence of your own being."
According to Osho, timing is only a guideline: if the inner process starts before a minute, you may stop; if after a minute something feels unfinished, continue another minute. The standard 'one minute' serves the group, not your inner rhythm. Trust your felt sense, then rest in silent witnessing, allowing whatever arises—light, bliss, expression—to unfold naturally.
Listen to your inner signal: stop early if it opens, keep going if it hasn’t—time is just a helper.
