What happens when control slips away?

outcome
"When control slips away, life guides you through tension until you surrender into the stillness of rest; each path, whether through friction or ease, ultimately leads to the same peace."
According to Osho, when control slips away, life moves you through necessary tension and ‘running’ until you naturally collapse into rest and silence. The route differs for each person: a few can relax immediately; most need the friction first—Shakti sadhana itself creates that tension. There’s no good or bad; whichever path brings peace and momentum fulfills the same purpose.
When you lose control, you might tense up and run until you’re tired, and then you finally relax—either way, you end up finding rest.
Why this matters practically
- Stop judging your process; tension or collapse can both be steps to peace.
- Choose practices that give you real peace and momentum, not what “should” work.
- If silence doesn’t come now, allow the run; it may be the doorway to rest.
