According to Osho, sadhana, meditation, and God-realization are not needs at all; life runs without them, even “more smoothly.” Yet beyond need lies life’s poetry. These are ends-in-themselves—temple amid shops—bringing fragrance, beauty, and ecstatic depth. They awaken conscience so deceit becomes impossible, and they prevent us from reducing life to bread alone. Do not mint bliss into utility or prestige; let practice be gratuitous celebration and connection with the Divine.
You don’t need meditation or God to survive, but they’re like roses with your bread—making life beautiful, joyful, and true.
