What is the role of curiosity in meditation?

Curiosity is the mental itch that distracts from the stillness of true meditation; when the urge to know dissolves, silence deepens and existence is experienced directly, like a child in wonder.

— Osho
According to Osho, curiosity is a childish mental itch that excites the mind but disturbs meditation. In true meditation there is no curiosity, no questioning, no thinking—only centering, alertness, and innocent seeing. When the urge to know drops, silence deepens; knowledge falls away, wisdom flowers, and existence is enjoyed directly, like a child, without labels, theories, or uses.

Meditation works best when you stop trying to get answers and simply sit, watch, and enjoy quietly.
