Who is responsible for our suffering?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Your suffering is self-created; it is your resistance to what is that causes pain. Surrender to the present moment, and even pain can become the labor pains of your spiritual rebirth."
According to Osho, our suffering is self-made: not caused by the 'hook' of circumstance or the master, but by our resistance to it. Struggle hurts; acceptance heals. Make peace even with pain and it ends, becoming labor pains of spiritual birth. Responsibility is ours—to stop fighting, surrender to what is, and let truth mature within.
We mostly hurt because we fight what’s happening; if we accept it, the pain softens and helps us grow.
