What is the relationship between concentration and insanity in meditation?

True meditation is not concentration; it is an effortless, relaxed awareness where the boundaries of the ego dissolve and sanity blossoms.

— Osho
According to Osho, concentration is the mind’s forced narrowing that generates energy and psychic powers but tightens the ego, creates inner tension, and blocks the ultimate relaxation of meditation; such rigidity can unbalance the mind. True meditation is effortless, empty looking—relaxed, unblinking awareness—where boundaries dissolve, bliss arises, and sanity flowers.

Don’t strain to focus; just relax and look openly, and your mind stays healthy and peaceful.
