What are the obstacles to enlightenment?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Enlightenment is not hindered by circumstances, but by our insistence on standardizing the path; embrace your own nature and let others follow theirs without comparison."
According to Osho, enlightenment is blocked less by circumstances and more by our insistence on debating tastes and standardizing the path. Assuming everyone is the same type, arguing over lifestyles—coziness versus change—wastes vital energy. There is no single right way: align with your own nature and let others follow theirs. Drop comparison, stop convincing, and move experientially, not argumentatively.
Stop arguing about which lifestyle is best for awakening; follow what suits you and let others follow what suits them.
