Is effort and sadhana the method and tathata the goal, or is tathata both the method and the goal?

definition
"Stop thinking; start being, for in the act of walking, you touch the essence of tathata, the very sun of existence."
According to Osho, both views are right: if it helps you move, take effort and sadhana as the method and tathata as the goal; if you see beyond logic, recognize tathata as both path and goal. What matters is moving—walking reveals the way. The first step already touches suchness; touch the ray, you touch the sun. Stop thinking; start being.
Call it two or one—it doesn’t matter; just begin, because your first real step already tastes of suchness.

- Aligns practice with realization: embody presence now, not later.
- Builds momentum: each small step immediately connects you to the goal.
