What is the relationship between meditation and enlightenment?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Enlightenment is the flowering of meditation; as you drop suffering and let awareness deepen, life transforms into a celebration of silence and sensitivity."

According to Osho, enlightenment is the flowering of meditation: as meditation deepens, mind-stories dissolve like darkness before light, sensitivity and music ripen toward inner silence, and life becomes a celebration. Nothing sensual blocks it; only clinging to suffering does. Drop suffering; let meditation mature into silent, choiceless awareness, and enlightenment reveals itself.
Meditation is turning on your inner light; keep practicing, stop holding onto pain, and the full brightness—enlightenment—naturally appears.
Why this matters practically
- Stop needless renunciation; enjoy life while letting meditation grow.
- Focus on dropping suffering and stories, not fighting senses or relationships.
- Cultivate inner silence daily; it matures into clarity, joy, and freedom.
