Whom should one remember in meditation?

“

In meditation, remember no one and nothing; drop all thoughts and supports, for in that emptiness, your true essence reveals itself.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source practice
Core Insight:
According to Osho, in meditation you should remember no one and nothing. Meditation is the dropping of all thoughts, names, supports, and mantras, becoming a clear, reflectionless awareness. Seeking a 'whom' only refills the mind. Abandon every crutch and be supportless; in that emptiness, your innate meditation flowers, and the nameless 'real Name' reveals itself without deliberate remembrance.
Don’t think of anyone or repeat any name; just sit quietly and let your mind be empty like a clean mirror.
Why this matters practically
- Breaks dependence on mantras and props, building inner freedom.
- Quiets compulsive thinking, bringing clarity and peace.
- Lets natural awareness arise, deepening meditation without effort.
