"Do not convert truth into a goal; in the stillness of desirelessness, truth reveals itself spontaneously."
According to Osho, any desire—including the wish to attain truth—creates inner ripples that distort consciousness, just as a stone disturbs a still lake. Wanting implies discontent and tension; in a trembling mind the Divine cannot reflect. Do not convert truth into a goal. Instead, relax craving, be silently aware, and let desire fall away; in desirelessness, truth reveals itself spontaneously.
Stop trying to grab truth; calm the mind, drop the wanting, and let truth appear on its own.
