Why doesn't meditation, the art of disappearing, come more naturally to us despite our love for music, poetry, and dance?

According to Osho, meditation doesn’t come naturally because, unlike music, poetry, dance, or love—which let you vanish only for fleeting moments—it demands total disappearance of the old personality. Meditation is a death and rebirth into your original being, and this apparent finality provokes deep fear. We cling to momentary substitutes; only trust—often in a master—encourages the courageous leap beyond fear.
