According to Osho, if a meditation camp runs for months, participants would climb to Everest-like peaks of bliss, but returning home the contrast would drive them “mad with misery.” After nine days reintegration is hard; after three months it becomes nearly impossible. Shorter camps train you to accept both the peak and the valley—learning choiceless acceptance so neither happiness nor sadness disturbs your inner balance.
If a camp lasts too long you go too high, and coming back to normal life hurts; better to learn to welcome both good and bad.
