What is 'getting it', mini satori, full satori, and samadhi?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To 'get it' is to realize there is nothing to get; in the acceptance of reality as it is, you find the perfection of the moment—this is samadhi."
According to Osho, ‘getting it’ means seeing there’s nothing to get—dropping greed, ambition and goals; accepting that reality, as it is, is perfect, and living moment-to-moment: this is samadhi. A mini-satori is a fleeting glimpse that can be lost; treat it tenderly and stay alert. A full satori is the stabilized realization that cannot be lost—the vision becomes your very style of being, often preceded by many mini-satoris.
It’s realizing the treasure is already here; sometimes you glimpse it and lose it, but if you care for it, it becomes steady and you live in it all the time.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you stop chasing and relax into the present.
- Encourages alert, humble care for early glimpses so they mature.
- Reduces anxiety and ego swings by valuing stability over peak moments.
