According to Osho, meditation flowers through a delicate paradox: you must prepare, practice, and create space, yet the final stillness comes as a non-doing, not as your achievement. Do what ripens receptivity—disciplines, awareness, presence—then relinquish the doer. When effort matures into effortless letting-go, grace happens and the mind’s fluctuations subside on their own.
Work sincerely to get ready, then stop trying and allow silence to bloom by itself—like watering a seed and letting the flower open on its own.
