Does education lead to meditation?

True education is not about filling the mind, but about drawing out the potential within, allowing life-energy to flow freely and leading to the celebration of one's own being.

— Osho
According to Osho, conventional schooling rarely leads to meditation—it conditions and stuffs the mind, serving society’s needs. True education, however, means “to draw out”: trusting life-energy and allowing one’s innate potential to flower. Such education aligns with meditation, fostering inner trust, spontaneity, and self-discovery, whereas imposed careers and rote information cripple the celebrative, meditative unfolding of being.

Real learning helps the flower inside you open; cramming facts shuts it, so only the first kind leads to meditation.
