In meditation, whom should one remember?

"Meditation is not about remembering anyone; it is about seeing the door and walking through it into the realm of clear awareness and self-knowing."
According to Osho, meditation is not about remembering anyone—neither deity, guru, nor mantra. He shifts emphasis from practice to understanding: simply see the ‘door’ and go through it. When understanding dawns, effort, vows, and mental rehearsal drop; awareness functions on its own. The wise don’t practice remembrance; they relax into clear seeing and self-knowing.
Don’t think of or chant about anyone in meditation; just be quietly aware of yourself right now.
