Meditation is a mirror —

and the most faithful one.

Whoever goes into meditation

risks a confrontation with himself:

The mirror of meditation never lies,

and it does not flatter.

It is impartial and innocent

and it never projects anything.

It only faithfully shows your real original face,

the face we never show to the world,

the face that we ourselves have forgotten.

So it is possible

that you yourself

may not be able to recognize it the first time!

But do not escape from it.

Face it and you will come to know it and recognize it.

This confrontation is the first test of courage on

the inner way.

So when it comes to happen —

rejoice and feel blessed.

-Osho
