Ask Osho!

What is the significance of repeating a resolve in meditation practice?

Synthesized from Source practice

"Repetition in meditation is not about quantity, but about cutting through the noise of the mind to anchor attention and awaken the possibility of transformation in a single moment."

According to Osho, the resolve in meditation is repeated not because quantity creates transformation, but because repetition increases the chance that the distracted, ‘deaf’ mind truly hears it. Among crowds within and without, a single clear hearing triggers the work in one stroke. Repeating the sankalpa anchors attention, cuts through inner noise, and readies the decisive moment.
We repeat our meditation promise so our busy mind finally hears it once—and that one real hearing starts the change.
Why this matters practically
- Pierces distraction and gathers scattered attention
- Raises the likelihood of a decisive inner shift
- Practical tip: restate your intention several times until it feels vivid and present
