How can meditation transform us if our lives are predetermined?

Meditation transforms us not by changing a predetermined fate, but by shattering the illusion of our ego, allowing us to witness life as it unfolds in its authentic essence.

— Osho
According to Osho, life isn’t predetermined; “fate” is a device to shatter your egoic sense of being the center. If you momentarily assume everything is fixed, existence looks dreamlike, loosening your grip and expectations. In that detachment, meditation—simple, choiceless awareness—can decondition childhood centrality, dissolve demands and purposes, and allow an authentic transformation to arise from witnessing, not from a scripted destiny.

Meditation changes you because life isn’t a fixed plan—when you stop acting like the universe revolves around you and just watch, you naturally grow.
