According to Osho, returning to the world does not smother the inner ember; only your own unconsciousness heaps ash upon it. If the fire seems dimmed by life, it was lit by borrowed words, not by meditation. Let meditation ignite and sustain it; then nothing external can quench it—only abandoning meditation can veil its glow.
The world can’t put out your inner fire—only forgetting and not meditating can.
