outcome
"To live in total insecurity without turmoil is the essence of enlightenment; embrace the reality of insecurity and watch your anxiety dissolve into acceptance."
According to Osho, total insecurity and the ability to rest in it are identical with enlightenment; therefore the unenlightened cannot live in total insecurity without turmoil. Yet the path is to begin living insecurely now, accept reality as it is, and drop the demand for security. Anxiety comes from that demand, not from insecurity; with mature acceptance, the anxiety dissolves and enlightenment flowers.
You can’t be totally fearless about life’s changes right away, but if you stop insisting life be safe and just accept it, the worry fades.

- Reduces anxiety by dropping the craving for certainty.
- Fosters maturity by aligning with reality.
- Opens the path to inner peace and enlightenment.
