"Joy and bliss in meditation are not meant to be clung to; they flow naturally like breath, inviting you to dance between solitude and love, creating a deeper harmony in life."
According to Osho, losing meditative bliss during the day is natural: life moves in complementary rhythms. Meditation is self-remembrance; relating is love, remembrance of the other. Forcing nonstop awareness exhausts you and disrespects people. Instead, alternate—meditate in solitude, dissolve in love with others. This left-right pendulum, like breath and work/sleep, renews energy, grows awareness, and gradually weaves a deeper, more stable harmony.
It’s okay to not stay blissful all day; be with yourself when alone and be fully with others when together, and the back-and-forth keeps the joy alive.
