What should I do to attain happiness?
Synthesized from Source
practice
"Happiness is not something to be pursued; it is your natural state waiting to be uncovered by releasing the chains of sorrow. Choose joy, and let awareness be the key that unlocks your true self."
According to Osho, happiness isn’t gained by fixing the outside but by ending the inner habit that invites sorrow. Joy is your natural state; sorrow is borrowed. Choose the “chain” of joy, drop the hidden perks of misery, and use awareness to cut sorrow at its root. When inner sorrow ceases, effortless joy remains and attracts more joy.
Stop bringing sadness inside; stay aware, let it go, and your built‑in happiness will appear on its own.
