"Stop asking “What should I do?” and turn to “Who am I?”; in the stillness of self-knowledge, right action unfolds effortlessly."
According to Osho, stop asking “What should I do?” and turn to “Who am I?”. Doing is the circumference; being is the center. First be still and know yourself; from that clarity, right action unfolds effortlessly. Without self-knowledge, all doing misfires; with self-recognition, mistakes drop away. You arrive by not running—abiding in your own nature.
Before trying to do anything, sit quietly and find out who you really are; then the right actions will happen on their own.
