Core Insight:
According to Osho, one should jump directly into Dhyan because contemporary people have forgotten the taste of meditation. Without a firsthand glimpse, they won’t endure the disciplines of the other steps. In Patanjali’s era meditation was foundational; today it must come first to awaken the inner fragrance, ignite longing, and orient life. Once meditation is tasted, the remaining limbs follow naturally, culminating in Samadhi.
