What is the significance of location in spiritual practice?

The significance of location in spiritual practice is overshadowed by the readiness of consciousness; it is not where you are, but when you are that truly matters.

— Osho
According to Osho, the 'where' of spiritual practice is far less important than the 'when'—the ripeness of consciousness. He argues that Buddha was 'before his time,' and only after humanity fully explores Marx’s material inquiry does Buddha become inevitable. Practice flowers when the collective and individual mind matures; choose any setting that supports awareness, but readiness is decisive.

Where you are matters less than being ready inside; after learning about the outer world, turning inward comes naturally.
