What kind of preparations are necessary to experience satori?

Satori can arise unexpectedly when you are fully present, transcending preparation; it is the spontaneous eruption of love, shock, or the release of tension that unveils the moment.

— Osho
According to Osho, satori often needs no preparation at all; it can erupt by chance when you are totally present—through surging love, a sudden shock or danger, even chemical shifts (LSD, mescaline, marijuana). Aesthetic, feeling hearts find it easier than rational minds. For intellectuals, it may arise only after peak mental tension suddenly releases (as with Archimedes), dissolving thought into a single, immediate glimpse.

You don’t need special rituals; satori can appear unexpectedly when your heart is open or your busy mind suddenly lets go.
