Is it possible for no-mind to evolve naturally from the mind without struggle?

definition
"No-mind is not a product of the mind; it is the natural state that emerges when the mind is dropped, revealing what has always been within."
According to Osho, no-mind cannot evolve from the mind; it is a radical discontinuity—a leap, not a growth. Like health after removing disease, or a spring flowing when a rock is lifted, no-mind appears when the mind is dropped. Any struggle belongs to the mind’s resistance; it neither produces nor accompanies no-mind. When mind ceases, no-mind—always present—simply reveals itself.
No-mind doesn’t grow from thinking; remove the blocking thoughts (like moving a rock from a spring) and silence flows—any pain is just the rock resisting.
Why this matters practically
- Stop polishing the mind; practice awareness and dropping identification with thoughts.
- Accept discomfort as the mind’s resistance, not as spiritual progress.
- Prioritize letting go over effort; when obstruction falls, clarity and ease appear.
