"Meditation is not a struggle; it is the art of letting go, resting in effortless awareness where silence blooms naturally."
According to Osho, meditation cannot be achieved through effort; effort belongs to the mind, and meditation is its transcendence. Relax, let go of striving, and rest in effortless, alert awareness—like deep sleep with consciousness. When struggle drops, samadhi flowers by itself. Sit or lie down, breathe naturally, remain watchful but unforced; allow silence to happen rather than manufacture it.
Stop trying hard; relax your body, breathe easy, and gently watch—then meditation comes on its own.
