Is it still possible to attain samadhi in old age?

outcome
"Old age is not a barrier to samadhi; it is often a blessing, as the storms of life settle and the soul can finally turn its gaze toward the Divine."
According to Osho, samadhi is timeless and unrelated to the body’s age; the soul is ageless. Old age is no obstacle—often it helps, because life’s storms have quieted and attention can turn single-pointedly toward the Divine. Every stage has gifts and traps: youth has energy but is easily squandered; the wise use whatever condition they’re in to awaken.
Your age doesn’t matter for awakening; the quiet of old age can even make it easier to know who you really are.
Why this matters practically
- Stop using age as an excuse; begin meditation now.
- In youth, aim energy at awareness; in age, use natural calm to focus.
- Choose wisdom: turn any situation into support for awakening.
