Synthesized from Source
practice
"Move toward shunya by embracing the abyss of emptiness with meditative awareness, for it is in the silence of zero that new being is revealed."
According to Osho, meditation is the path toward shunya (zero). Humanity’s old value-bridges have collapsed; one can either drug oneself back into hypnosis or courageously enter the abyss consciously. Moving toward zero means dropping the demand for fixed values and identities, living without conceptual crutches, and using meditative awareness—Zen-like attentiveness—to face emptiness directly, not escape it. Choose awareness, not anesthesia, and let silence reveal new being.
Go toward zero by sitting quietly, staying awake, letting go of labels and crutches, and not using drugs to escape—just be brave and present.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you face uncertainty without anxiety. - Breaks addiction to roles, labels, and external validation. - Encourages authentic, awake living rather than escapism.
