"Before entering the final stage of samadhi, release the chaos within through cathartic meditation, and let the natural silence and harmony arise without the mind's expectation of turmoil."
According to Osho, just before the final stage of samadhi you need not pass through madness: modern cathartic meditations expel accumulated inner chaos beforehand. As the turbulence is released, a natural silence, harmony, balance, and centering arise, making effortless sitting possible. Beware the mind’s expectation of a ‘chaotic phase’—that belief can manufacture turmoil; simply continue catharsis and allow the silence to deepen.
Before the last step, let the practices throw out your inner noise so calm comes—you don’t have to go crazy first.
Why this matters practically
- Removes fear of “going mad,” encouraging steady practice.
- Clarifies sequence: do catharsis, then sit; expect growing quiet.
- Prevents self-sabotage by dropping the myth that chaos is required.
