What does it mean when one gazes into the abyss?

To gaze into the abyss is to embrace the silence within, where thoughts dissolve and you become one with the boundless expanse of existence.

— Osho
According to Osho, gazing into the abyss is the very essence of meditation: to look steadily into emptiness, silence, the boundless sky within and without. This gaze is mutual—the abyss looks back—and in that exchange your thoughts thin, harmony arises, and you gradually become one with the vastness; inner and outer dissolve into a single expanse.

Look quietly into deep silence, and it gently looks back until your thoughts fade and you feel one with it.
