Can the awareness attained through meditation be lost?

"True awareness attained through genuine meditation is irreversible; it is a stable consciousness that cannot be lost, for it is not dependent on techniques or circumstances."
According to Osho, true awareness realized through authentic meditation is irreversible; once awakened, it cannot be lost. If what you gained fades, the method was merely a trick—like a drug-induced state—not genuine awakening. The sure criterion is permanence: real meditation yields a stable, abiding consciousness that does not depend on techniques, moods, or circumstances and therefore cannot slip away.
Real awakening is like opening your eyes for good; if they close again, it wasn’t the real thing.
