"Embrace your passions fully until you are exhausted by them, and only then will the burdens of negativity fall away, revealing a state of watchfulness that is fresh, peaceful, and ecstatic."
According to Osho, trying to discard jealousy, greed, and anger while clinging to your “fun” persona creates a split and keeps you stuck; it’s one ego-package. First live your passions totally until you’re utterly fed up—then the whole bundle of negatives falls away by itself. From there, simple watchfulness flowers, never boring, but fresh, peaceful, and ecstatic.
You can’t keep the fun toys and throw away the bad ones from the same box; play fully until you’re done, then the whole box drops and calm, happy watching appears.
