"Suffering on the path is not inevitable; it is born from our resistance to growth. Embrace the present, let go of the past, and allow your journey to unfold in bliss."
According to Osho, suffering on the path is not inevitable; it is self-created by resisting growth. Division breeds pain, while total cooperation and let-go turn growth into bliss. End suffering by dropping the past and its judgments, releasing expectations about the future, and cultivating a meditative, relaxed space where effort and rest balance. Then growth unfolds naturally, not as agony but as rejoicing.
You don’t have to suffer to grow; pain comes from fighting change—let go of past stories and future expectations, relax into meditation, and growth becomes joyful.
Why this matters practically
- Stop blaming “growth” and take responsibility for inner resistance.
- Practice dropping past narratives and future agendas to reduce anxiety.
- Add daily meditation/relaxation so effort transforms into ease and joy.
