Why is the ultimate experience hard to attain?

"The ultimate experience is not hard to attain; it is our ego that complicates the simple act of surrendering to the moment. Embrace the dissolution of the self, and the profound will reveal itself instantly."
According to Osho, the ultimate is not hard at all—it’s utterly simple. It seems hard because the ego rejects what carries no challenge, prestige, or power, and meditation is precisely that simplicity. The real hurdle is our unwillingness to lose ourselves; ego-death feels like death. If you are ready to dissolve, it can happen instantly; if not, you may wander for lives.
It’s easy, but our ego hates simple letting go because it feels like dying; if you’re willing to drop your “me” for a moment, it happens right away.
Why this matters practically
- Stop chasing spiritual achievements; practice gentle surrender.
- Use simple, daily meditation focused on letting go, not effort.
- Live and love fully to ease fear of death, making surrender natural.
