"Trust the darkness, for it is in the stillness of night that the inner sun prepares to rise."
According to Osho, when you feel stuck with an 'old flashlight,' drop the urge to force light. Trust suchness: allow the darkness, watch it patiently, and remain alert. Darkness has its own rest and ripening; it becomes deepest just before dawn. Don’t depend on gadgets or effort—depend on awareness. Keep witnessing whatever appears; inevitably the inner sun rises by itself.
If it feels dark, stop pushing the button—sit quietly, watch, and the sun inside will come up on its own.
