"Happiness is not found in leaving the world, but in dropping your cravings and resting in your true self; be a light unto yourself, and joy will blossom within."
According to Osho, leaving the world cannot guarantee happiness, because ‘the world’ is your craving for happiness. Neither grasping nor renouncing brings joy; joy arises when craving drops and you rest in yourself. No outer assurance is possible—happiness depends on your understanding. Change your outlook, turn inward, be a light unto yourself; then happiness can be now.
Running away won’t make you happy; stop chasing happiness and look inside, and peace appears when the craving ends.
