"Meditation is not a journey measured in years; it is a timeless leap into the present, where realization happens in the gap between moments."
According to Osho, meditation never ‘happens after years’; you may circle the temple for lifetimes, yet entry is always a single, timeless leap. No amount of miles on the circumference brings you to the center; when the mind’s time stops, in the gap between moments, the happening occurs. Practice prepares the ground, but realization is instantaneous, beyond time.
Years don’t add up to awakening; it clicks in a flash when you stop chasing and drop into stillness beyond time.
