Why doesn't meditation spread across the whole country if it brings peace to life?

"Only when your restlessness reaches its peak will you turn inward, for true peace comes in a flash when the longing is total."
According to Osho, meditation doesn’t spread because very few truly long for peace. We live lukewarmly—never fully restless or aflame—so the inner fire that compels the search for silence never ignites. Desires scatter toward money, status, family, and health. Only when restlessness matures to its peak does the turning inward begin; peace comes in a flash when the longing is total.
Most people aren’t desperate for peace yet, so they chase other things and don’t start meditating until their longing becomes strong and clear.
Why this matters practically
- Clarify what you truly want; stop scattering energy on substitutes if peace is your goal.
- Allow discomfort to be fully seen—complete restlessness ripens authentic meditation.
- Don’t wait for guarantees; begin when your longing for peace feels undeniable.
