Do wisdom and understanding increase gradually or do they come as explosions?

outcome
"Wisdom and understanding are not something to be gained; they are your very essence waiting to be unveiled, instantaneously or gradually, depending on the intensity of your desire."
According to Osho, wisdom and understanding never arrive—they are your innate nature. Sudden or gradual are not qualities of enlightenment but reflections of your totality: with wholehearted intensity, coverings burn and realization is instantaneous; with half-heartedness, it appears stepwise. The timing is your responsibility and choice, available this very moment if you truly desire it, or postponed by ambivalence.
You already have wisdom; it shows up quickly when you want it completely, and seems slow when you don’t.
Why this matters practically
- Puts responsibility on your present choice and sincerity.
- Encourages wholehearted practice now instead of postponing.
- Stops chasing methods and schools; turn inward immediately.
