What is the fruit of spiritual practice?

"True spiritual practice is not a quest for fruit; it is the surrender to the present moment, where simplicity, silence, and freedom blossom in the absence of desire."
According to Osho, genuine spiritual practice bears no fruit: it is not a bargain for future bliss, enlightenment, or merit. The very hope for results sustains the seeker and postpones awakening. Practice ripens into fruitlessness—pure, choiceless awareness—where nothing is achieved and no one achieves it. When the craving for outcomes drops, what is remains: simplicity, silence, and freedom.
Don’t do it to get a prize; when you stop wanting rewards, you feel peaceful right now.
