"Resistance to meditation is a sign that deep change is approaching; your old identity fears being shed, but in knowing yourself, the fragrance of God will naturally unfold."
According to Osho, resistance to meditation is natural and meaningful—it signals that deep change is near and your old identity fears being dropped. Suppressed material will surface, so the ego clings to its 'pebbles' as if they were diamonds. Don't worry about desiring God; be sincere about knowing yourself. Meditation cleans and awakens you; in your own flowering, the fragrance called 'God' is revealed.
Feeling pushback to meditate just means change is coming; keep gently cleaning your inner room, forget chasing “God,” and as you grow, what God means shows up by itself.
Why this matters practically
- Treat resistance as a sign to practice sincerely, not as a stop signal.
- Let old habits and ‘false treasures’ drop; allow emotions to surface and release.
- Prioritize self-awareness over belief; clarity naturally transforms how you see life (and the divine).
