How can we drown in the ocean of light during meditation?

“

Drown in the ocean of light by surrendering completely to the rhythm of existence, letting go of the illusion of the body and embracing the totality of your being.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, you drown in the ocean of light only when you risk totality in the first two stages—singing and riding the rhythm—so completely that body-remembrance drops. Stop protecting comfort, exhaust yourself if needed, and let go of 'I am the body.' Then the earth’s pull fades and divine grace draws the freed part of you to sink into the ocean of light.
Go all-in with the singing and rhythm until you forget your body; then the light of the divine pulls you in.
Why this matters practically
- Breaks identification with the body, opening deeper meditation.
- Encourages wholehearted effort and acceptance of temporary fatigue.
- Shifts you from earth’s pull to divine grace, enabling effortless inner absorption.
