What did Jesus experience during the forty days and nights in the wilderness?

definition
"Prayer seeks answers from an indifferent sky, while meditation opens the door to direct experience and transformation."
According to Osho, Jesus did not meditate in the wilderness; he spent forty days and nights in prayer to an unknown, possibly nonexistent God. The sky remained indifferent—no answer, no response. For Osho, this reflects a religion of belief rather than knowing; prayer strengthens fiction and covers doubt, whereas meditation could have brought direct experience and transformed everything.
He talked to a made-up someone in the sky and nothing replied; quietly knowing himself would have helped more.
Why this matters practically
- Choose meditation over belief-based prayer to find direct inner experience.
- Direct knowing dissolves doubt; borrowed beliefs only suppress it.
- Stop projecting God from fear; meet reality within.
