Will the journey of returning to my true nature be as long as the journey away from it, or is there a shortcut?

outcome
"Your true nature was never left; the journey back is simply an about-face towards the light of your own awareness."
According to Osho, there is no shortcut—and no long return either—because your true nature was never left. The ‘journey’ ends by an about-face: turn attention from outward cravings to inward awareness. Like facing the sun or lighting a lamp, remembrance dispels ignorance instantly. You don’t retrace miles; you simply reorient, becoming present to what you already are.
Why this matters practically
- Ends endless seeking by inviting immediate awareness now.
- Shifts spirituality from effort and time to simple remembrance.
- Encourages dropping mechanical rituals for direct inner attention.
