Why is meditation emphasized over reading spiritual texts or listening to sages?

Meditation is the soil in which the seed of understanding can sprout; without the stillness of a waveless mind, true insight remains dormant.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Books and talks can show the way, but only quieting your mind lets real understanding grow.
Why this matters practically
- Prioritize practice over collecting spiritual information.
- Turn daily acts (walking, eating, listening) into mindful meditation for clarity.
- Commit to regular, honest stillness to prevent spiritual procrastination.
