practice
"Only totality—utter surrender in love or utter solitude in meditation—can lead you to liberation."
According to Osho, when both love and meditation feel blocked, first throw out the ‘poison’ of borrowed religious ideas that condemn love and confuse your nature. Then begin from where you are: if surrender is natural, dissolve totally in love; if aloneness suits you, choose meditation. Avoid half-measures and imitation; only totality—utter surrender or utter solitude—brings liberation.
Clear others’ beliefs from your head, then fully choose what fits you—either give yourself completely to love or be completely alone in meditation.
Why this matters practically
- Stops copying paths that don’t fit you
- Replaces hesitation with wholehearted practice (surrender or solitude)
- Frees you from guilt and conditioning that block love and awareness
