is occupation. Meditation means a state of no occupation.
So if you like any method, you can do it; if you don't, just sit. Twenty-three hours are yours; one hour give to me.
And finally you will see that only that one hour has been saved; all the other twenty-three hours have gone down the drain.
You have to put the energy into your earning because you have to come forever, so settle things. But one hour for meditation, mm? that will be a contact with me, a connection, and it will rejuvenate you every day. It will go on creating new spaces for you. But don't hanker for them and don't expect them. Don't even think about them. When they happen say 'thank you' to the sky and forget all about it.
And don't for a single moment have the idea in your mind 'Now it has happened it has to happen every day.' Once you desire a repetition you are getting into trouble; it will not happen again. It happens only in an innocent mind. It happens only when there was no expectation, no desire, no action, no occupation, just a simple passivity. One was, nothing else -- a pure being, a naked, bare being. One was just breathing, one was aware.
So give one hour to meditation and put your energies into the work and come back as soon as you can.
[A sannyasin meeting Osho for the first time says: Can you tell me what I need?]
I will... I will not only tell you, I will give it to you. You need me! You just have to prepare the heart for me so I can enter and start working inside. The meditations are just cleansing processes and so are the groups. They simply destroy the negative in you. Once the negative is destroyed I can enter into the very core of your being. That very entry brings an alchemical change, brings transformation. The very touch, just the contact, and suddenly your energy that has remained blocked for centuries starts flowing again. And the life that has disappeared from you into some kind of underground in your consciousness starts surfacing again, blooms in your consciousness.
The real work starts only when I penetrate you. The disciple has to be unconditionally open. It is risky and only courageous people can take it
