Ask Osho!

Is it okay to dislike meditation and prefer prayer on my spiritual path?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"Without meditation, insights remain second-hand; only through the depths of your own experience can words transform into true understanding."

According to Osho, meditation is the essential journey; his talks are only appetisers. If you dislike meditation, you haven’t truly heard him—without meditating, insights stay second-hand. Preferring substitutes—whether talks, imagination, or devotional comforts—only entertains the mind. Prayer or listening may soothe you briefly, but only meditation transforms words into your own living experience.
Like reading a menu isn’t eating, prayer or listening without meditation won’t feed your spirit.
