"Meditation is not reserved for mystics; it is the key to unlocking the unique, divine potential within every human being, allowing their innate mysticism to blossom free from societal conditioning."
According to Osho, meditation isn’t just for “mystics” because no human being is ordinary; each is a unique, God-created mystery with innate potential. Meditation liberates this inborn mysticism, not by indoctrinating beliefs, but by inviting no-thought and direct experience. Children are the most capable—natural mystics close to the source—so meditation protects their intelligence from societal conditioning and helps their uniqueness flower.
Because no one is truly ordinary and kids are natural wonderers, meditation lets our inner magic grow without forcing any beliefs.
