Timing

Q: Is it true to say that timing is everything?

According to Osho, no - timing is not everything. Waiting for the "right moment" numbs seeking; enlightenment has no season. You are already the light - recognize it now. Buddha's talk of timing was consoling the hesitant, not prescribing delay. What counts is authentic thirst and turning inward; a master can create catalytic situations, but the leap is immediate and yours.

Q: What are the esoteric reasons for arriving at a lecture at a specific time?

According to Osho, there’s nothing mystical about his timing: time doesn’t exist for him in meditation, so punctuality becomes accidental. Asked for three esoteric reasons, he jokes: "I am drunk, I am drunk, I am drunk"—drunk on presence/being. His lateness reflects living in a timeless, ecstatic flow where inner spontaneity, not the clock, sets the rhythm.
