"The first taste of samadhi is a sudden awakening, where the separate self dissolves like a drop into the ocean, revealing the vast wholeness of existence."
According to Osho, the first taste of samadhi is an incommunicable, sudden awakening—like a lamp flaring in darkness, a dying man revived, autumn turning to spring. It feels like immortal nectar and inner music; love and fearlessness arise, thoughts cease, and all beliefs wash away. One 'dies' sweetly: the separate self dissolves like a drop into the ocean, discovering vast wholeness and wonder.
It’s like suddenly waking up into a huge, loving light where fear and thinking stop, and the little ‘me’ melts into something endless and joyful.
