Is meditation impossible without the preparatory disciplines of body, thought, and feeling purification?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Meditation is not bound by preparatory disciplines; for the courageous, a single leap can purify all, while for others, these practices serve merely as supportive stairs to the infinite."
According to Osho, meditation is not impossible without purifying body, thought, and feeling; it is possible for the rare one with total resolve and courage to leap directly—instant entry purifies everything. For most, preliminary disciplines are supportive, not ends: they conserve scattered energy, intensify resolve, and become the 'stairs' when one cannot jump into the infinite abyss.
You can meditate right now if your heart is brave and all-in, but if that’s too hard, use simple practices to gather strength until you’re ready.
Why this matters practically
• Stops perfectionism: start practicing now. • Shows discipline as energy-saving that fuels clear intention. • Offers two workable paths—leap if ready, or build gradually without guilt.
