"Embrace the emptiness of meditation, for in that stillness, the divine reveals itself; it is not a void to be filled, but an ecstatic fullness waiting to be uncovered."
According to Osho, learning to live with meditation’s emptiness means not trying to fill it—drop all waiting, hoping, and desire. What seems empty is the fading of ego; when truly empty, the divine already present reveals itself—emptiness and the unknown are one. Meditation is simply tuning to what is; nothing is achieved, only uncovered. Trust, be still, and you’ll discover emptiness as ecstatic fullness—your innermost nature.
Stop trying to fix the emptiness; relax without wanting, and you’ll find it’s actually your peaceful, complete self.
