outcome
"Misery ends the moment you stop trying to escape it; in the stillness of simply being, suffering dissolves and benediction appears."
According to Osho, misery ends the moment you cease all efforts to end it. Any 'doing' breeds the doer, ego, tension, and postponement—fueling misery. Cut the root now: drop the project of becoming, stop sacrificing this moment for a future goal, and simply be present. In uncontrived awareness, benediction appears and suffering dissolves—now or never.
Stop trying to fix your sadness and just be here now; when you stop chasing it, it stops.
