The Path of Meditation
- "My Beloved Ones,
- First, I would like to welcome you, because you have a longing for the divine; because you desire to rise above ordinary life towards the life of a seeker and because, despite your worldly desires, you have a thirst for truth.
- The people who have felt the thirst for truth are fortunate; out of the millions of people who are born, only a few ever feel the longing for truth. To know truth is a great blessing - but even to have the longing for it is as great a blessing. Even if you don't attain it that is okay, but to never have experienced the thirst at all would be a great misfortune." (Osho, Ch. 1)
