outcome
"Meditation is the inner lamp that illuminates the darkness of illness and negative emotions, allowing awareness and peace to fill the void, transforming absence into presence."
According to Osho, illnesses and negative emotions are surface symptoms of an inner absence—like darkness without light. Meditation is the inner lamp: it doesn’t fight anger, fear, or disease directly; it fills the lack with awareness and peace. When consciousness is lit, these absences naturally recede, their roots exposed and healed, and one’s actions become effortlessly harmless and serene.
Meditation is like turning on a light inside you so the darkness of anger and sickness loses power and fades.
