According to Osho, meditation is not sleep or dullness; it is wakeful awareness—an alert, playful presence that steadies the mind. He jokes that many “sleep” when he speaks on meditation, mistaking drowsiness for depth. True meditation belongs with clarity and balance (cogitate/mediate), bringing ease and joy, not control, agitation, or postponement.
Meditation means being wide awake inside, calmly watching, not dozing off.
