Is meditation attained by the grace of God?

Meditation is not a gift from God; it is the blossoming of your own effort to remove the barriers within you. When you cease to obstruct, grace reveals itself in all its glory.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, meditation is realized through a paradox: grace is constant and equal for all, but it flowers only when you open yourself through effort. God has no favorites; your work is simply to unlock the doors—drop resistances, be receptive. You cannot produce meditation; you can stop obstructing it. When it dawns, the event so dwarfs your effort that it is rightly felt as pure grace.
Grace is the sun always shining; meditation happens when you simply open your window—make a little effort, stop blocking—and let it in.
Why this matters practically
- Promotes active practice over passive waiting
- Softens ego: what comes is received, not manufactured
- Ends comparison: grace is equal; focus on removing your own blocks
