outcome
"In true meditation, the urge to open your eyes vanishes as the 'I' dissolves into bliss, leaving only the experience of the Divine."
According to Osho, in genuine meditation you won’t feel like opening your eyes at all. As attention deepens, peace becomes bliss, and in bliss the sense of ‘I’ merges with the experience—leaving no separate observer to be curious or restless. Go still further and even the ‘I’ disappears into the Divine, where no urge, question, or report remains.
When meditation is deep, you’re so full and quiet that you forget to open your eyes—there’s no ‘you’ left to want it.
Why this matters practically
- Signals depth: urge to peek means surface peace; urge vanishes as you enter bliss.
- Encourages letting go of the ‘I’ and curiosity, allowing full absorption.
- Guides practice: stop chasing experiences—settle and dissolve.
