"When the desire to meditate fades, remember that it is a crucial moment; continue effortlessly, for only when total bliss blossoms will meditation drop away like a ripe fruit."
According to Osho, the phase of 'no desire to meditate' often appears when misery has faded but bliss hasn't yet dawned. The mind whispers, 'Why bother?' If you obey, darkness soon returns. Continue meditating, but shift from strenuous effort to relaxed, effortless 'floating.' Don't be lazy. Only when total, natural bliss flowers does meditation drop by itself -- like a ripe fruit falling.
When you feel so fine that you don’t want to meditate, keep doing it gently; if you stop, the old problems come back, and only when deep natural happiness is steady will meditation fall away on its own.
