Whom are we to meditate upon in sadhana?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True meditation is not about focusing on an object; it is the dissolution of all forms, leading to the pure awareness of our formless, contentless essence."
According to Osho, in true sadhana we meditate on no one. Meditation is not concentration on a deity, image, breath, or thought; these are dharana, provisional tools. Real meditation begins when all objects dissolve and only pure awareness remains—formless, objectless presence. The divine is not seen as an image; it is realized as union in silent, contentless consciousness.
Don’t focus on any person or picture; let every thought fade until only your bare awareness remains.
