Core Insight:
According to Osho, there is no similarity—only a fundamental opposition. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s ‘Transcendental Meditation’ is mantra-repetition that lulls the mind into stupor, hypnosis, and sleep, like a tranquilizer. His meditation is an activator: dynamic, energy-arousing stages with continuous witnessing. Breath, movement, and inquiry intensify alertness, culminating in silent awareness; lose witnessing and any method sinks into hypnosis.
