How is meditation necessary after enlightenment?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"After enlightenment, meditation becomes your very nature, effortlessly flowing through every moment of life, as natural as breathing."

According to Osho, after enlightenment meditation isn't 'necessary' as a practice; it remains as your very nature: effortless, continuous, like breathing. One no longer does sessions; walking, eating, loving, and working are permeated by meditativeness. Effort is only needed when life is blocked by conditioning; live moment to moment and meditation flowers on its own, even before enlightenment.
After you wake up inside, meditation isn’t something you do; it’s how you are, like breathing all day.
Why this matters practically
- Stop forcing techniques; cultivate relaxed, present living.
- Bring awareness to everyday acts instead of separating "practice time."
- Drop "shoulds" and accept each moment, reducing inner conflict.
