Meditation is nothing but withdrawing all the barriers; thoughts, emotions, sentiments,everything that builds a wall between you and existence. The moment they drop, yousuddenly find yourself in tune with the whole; not only in tune, you really find you arethewhole. OshoRemember you dont meditate to get anything, but to get rid of things. We do it, not withdesire, but with letting go. If you want anything, you wont find it. You wont be able to find it.But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you.
