outcome
"Life is not a means to an end; it is the end itself, and true joy arises when you let go of the need for permanence in an impermanent world."
According to Osho, your struggle comes from craving a permanent meaning in an impermanent life. Life isn’t a means to an end—it’s the end itself, beyond meaning or no-meaning. The grasping mind kills joy; relaxation and non-expectation let it arise. Flow with change, drop goals and control, attend to effortless glimpses, and bliss deepens naturally.
Stop trying to make life stay the same or mean something forever; relax, go with the flow, and joy shows up by itself.
