Are will and surrender two names of the same path?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Will and surrender are not opposites; they are two wings of the same bird, guiding you swiftly and safely toward your true home."
According to Osho, there is only one path: will and surrender only seem opposed but are complementary facets of it. Will provides power and courage; surrender provides vision and egoless guidance. Will alone breeds ego; surrender alone cannot move. Let will serve surrender—like a blind man carrying a lame seer—and you travel swiftly and safely toward home.
Be strong enough to let go: use your will to follow higher wisdom, like strong legs carrying clear eyes.
