According to Osho, love of jazz isn’t inherently an obstacle to enlightenment; it depends on your consciousness. Jazz, unlike classical, tends to stimulate sexuality, but with awareness and growing meditation you can purify it, link it to higher centers, and let music and meditation merge. Then jazz becomes a bridge to silence and celebration; without meditation, it keeps you earthbound.
Jazz isn’t the problem—if you bring awareness and meditation to it, it can lift you up; without that, it just stirs lower urges.
