outcome
"When awareness is caught in the hope of becoming, it breeds anxiety and restlessness; only by embracing your suchness can you dissolve the chase and discover true contentment."
According to Osho, when awareness is entangled in becoming, it turns into anxiety, gloom and a restless chase. One rises and sinks in self-created whirlpools, living in dreams and their shattering. Ambition becomes self-denial, pushing you away from your own center and fullness. Only accepting your suchness (tathata) dissolves the vicious circle, revealing contentment, prayerful gratitude, and natural growth.
Trying to be someone else makes you tense and lost; relaxing into who you already are brings peace and joy.
