In today’s fast-paced world, many of us find ourselves seeking more than just materialistic satisfaction. Despite the many accomplishments and possessions we may acquire, a void continues to exist within. However, there is a powerful practice that has the potential to alleviate these feelings of frustration and bring forth a sense of contentment and profound joy. This practice is known as meditation.
During my personal journey, I encountered various challenges and adversities. While everything seemed to be going well on the outside, a deep sense of dissatisfaction persisted within me. I found solace in indulging myself with worldly pleasures – be it through luxurious travels, the latest gadgets, or fashionable attire. Yet, no matter the extent of my indulgence, my mind remained restless and unsatisfied.
It was during this period of confusion that I stumbled upon the concept of meditation. Intrigued, I delved into the depths of this ancient practice, researching different techniques and seeking guidance from renowned meditation Gurus. I immersed myself in the teachings of various Gurus, even exploring the wisdom shared by Sadhguru. Although I admired his unique approach, I felt as though I wasn’t truly being guided. It seemed he had merely set me adrift in a vast sea, urging me to find my own way.
Fortunately, a close friend recommended Osho, and upon listening to his discourses, I felt a gradual unfolding of my inner being. It was as if layer by layer, my doubts and inquiries were slowly dissolving. Intrigued by this newfound connection, I decided to visit Osho’s Ashram in Pune and experienced a different presence within myself. Eager to deepen my understanding, my friend encouraged me to attend a devotees camp facilitated by one of Osho’s disciples, whose reputation preceded him.
Without hesitation, I embarked on a journey to Thailand, wherein this enlightening camp was being held. As soon as I arrived, I sensed an otherworldly energy and a shift in my state of mind. The experience was unlike anything I had ever encountered. Through the guidance and wisdom shared during the camp, I found answers to my deepest queries, and a profound sense of happiness and fulfilment washed over me.
Grateful for this life-changing experience, I remain indebted to Osho’s teachings and the meditation journey that has brought me closer to my authentic self. I liken the effects of meditation to the sensation one gets from sipping a glass of fine whiskey – a temporary joy that fades with time. However, meditation sustains and nourishes my happiness for an extended period. Whenever I face moments of depression or low energy, I seek solace in Osho’s teachings and attend his camps to realign my spirit and regain inner strength.
In conclusion, the profound benefits of meditation cannot be understated. It has the power to transform lives, unravel inner tumult, and guide individuals towards their true purpose. By embracing meditation, one can begin a transformative journey of self-discovery, finding harmony and contentment within their very being. I am forever grateful to Osho and the practice of meditation for granting me this life-altering gift.
