Opening the 'Path to Meditation' in the way of master Osho

The book "The Path of Meditation" compiles Osho's teachings from a three-day meditation retreat he led in the Mahabaleshwar hills. It not only helps to understand meditation but also guides one in finding balance, mindfulness, and connecting with their inner world .

The book "The Path of Meditation" is published by First News and Dan Tri Publishing House.

Author Osho begins the book with a profound observation: "Not everyone is truly enlightened, and not everyone desires to find the truth. Most of us simply drift through life, swept up in obligations, ambitions, and half-hearted desires, never truly stopping to ask ourselves: Who am I? What is the purpose of this existence? We live by inertia, according to predetermined patterns, but rarely have the courage to look deep into our consciousness and question our existence."

Meditation is about freeing the body from blockages.

In *The Way to Meditation* , Osho shatters many misconceptions about meditation, particularly the notion that it is a state attainable through effort or mental discipline. According to him, meditation is not an act of forcing the mind to be silent, nor is it a method for achieving a particular state. On the contrary, meditation is letting go, a process of natural observation where one allows things to unfold without interference, judgment, clinging, or resistance.

For the master Osho, meditation is not just about sitting still with your eyes closed. It is a state of the whole being. The body is also a part of meditation. Osho advises that before one can enter meditation, one needs a pure body, unhindered by repressed impulses. Unexpressed emotions and accumulated tensions create barriers that prevent us from delving deep into ourselves. Therefore, an important part of meditation is freeing the body from blockages, living naturally and without repression.

Osho asserted: "The greatest creation of humankind is themselves, their capacity for self-awareness. Anything else they create is of little value; it would be like drawing on water. But what they create within themselves is like carving in stone: it can never be erased; it will remain with them forever."

One of the key points Osho emphasizes is that meditation has no one-size-fits-all formula. Each person needs to find a path that works for them. Some will find meditation in silence, others in movement, in music , or even in everyday activities. The most important thing is to be fully present in each moment.

In a turbulent world where people constantly seek happiness externally, meditation serves as a reminder that everything we are searching for has always been here, within ourselves.

The Path to Meditation is not simply a meditation guide, but an invitation to pause amidst the hustle and bustle of life, to listen to oneself, to see through illusions, and to return to one's inner self. Ultimately, meditation has no destination, but it is in letting go and being fully present that we find all the adjustments we need whenever we feel lost.
