According to Osho, just before the final stage of samadhi you need not pass through madness: modern cathartic meditations expel accumulated inner chaos beforehand. As the turbulence is released, a natural silence, harmony, balance, and centering arise, making effortless sitting possible. Beware the mind’s expectation of a ‘chaotic phase’—that belief can manufacture turmoil; simply continue catharsis and allow the silence to deepen.
Before the last step, let the practices throw out your inner noise so calm comes—you don’t have to go crazy first.
