Ask Osho!

How long will the experience of witnessing thoughts and joy continue?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"When love flows as unconditional goodwill, meditation deepens, and the joy you share becomes the very essence of your being."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, glimpses of witnessing and joy will continue only in short bursts until you correct the first mistake: hoarding bliss and damming love. When love flows as unconditional goodwill and you lavish your joy on all, meditation deepens; thought-free intervals lengthen. Finally, love and meditation become one, and abiding, oceanic silence and bliss remain.
It stays brief until you open your heart and share your happiness with everyone; then it grows longer and finally becomes your natural state.
Why this matters practically
- Share your bliss after meditation to deepen and stabilize peace.
- Practice unconditional goodwill, even toward difficult people.
- Drop lust and possessiveness to remove the inner dam that keeps thoughts churning.
