Is it possible to grow and flower in a harsh environment?

In the harshest environments, you can still grow and flower by creating islands of silence within yourself; once centered, your awareness transcends all obstacles.

— Osho
According to Osho, yes—you can grow and flower even in harsh, mind-driven environments. It is arduous, but not impossible: consciously create islands of silence—late nights, weekends, solitary places, nature, open waters—and pour your total energy into meditation. Once centered, the inner path becomes independent of place; East/West, city/noise, even sickness or death no longer obstruct awareness.

Yes—make small quiet spaces to practice being calm, and soon you can feel calm anywhere.
