How should we meditate?

"Meditation is not an escape from life, but a fierce consent to be fully present amidst its chaos, allowing the flames of daily frictions to burn away the ego and reveal your true self."
According to Osho, meditate not by escaping life but by consenting to an inner beheading—burning the house of ego, comforts and identities. Stay amidst family, work and insult; let daily frictions expose anger and fear, then watch them without running. This fierce, total yes transforms you; meditation becomes living awareness in the marketplace, not a cheap recipe or retreat.
Be brave, stay in ordinary life, and calmly watch your reactions so the old ‘me’ can burn away.
