"Meditation cannot be organized; it spreads through the silent contagion of personal transformation, daring us to drop our ambitions and embrace the beauty of being a nobody."
According to Osho, a movement for meditation cannot be organized like politics or religion; meditation threatens vested interests and demands risking the mind’s ambition to be “somebody.” Because meditation makes you a “nobody,” only individuals who dare to drop striving can enter it. Thus it spreads through personal transformation and silent contagion, not mass campaigns or institutions.
You can’t make a big club for silence—each person must choose to stop chasing medals and be still, and others may quietly follow.
