practice
"Meditation is not a technique to be confined to a schedule; it is the art of letting joy and silence flow through every moment of life."
According to Osho, structured meditation is only a provisional support—use it if helpful, especially as a beginner. The mature sannyasin lets meditation permeate all activities, dissolving any separate timetable. When the same joy and silence arise while working as in sitting, technique can be dropped; life itself becomes uninterrupted meditation and grateful witnessing.
Start with set meditation if you need it, but aim to be mindful all day so you don’t need a special time.
