Core Insight:
According to Osho, there is no contradiction: true meditation flowers when you relinquish all hope and desire for enlightenment. The very longing for awakening creates tension and distance; the 'achieving mind' is the obstacle. When desire falls utterly, you are already enlightenment itself—silent like a ripple-free lake. So live meditatively, but drop even spiritual ambition; give space, watch, and let it happen.
