outcome
"True realization occurs not through practice, but through the art of listening; when the mind is silent, the Divine reveals itself instantly."
According to Osho, Arjuna realized the supreme state while listening to Krishna; no subsequent practice was needed. Doing is an egoic delusion—the Divine is already present; only awakening through right listening is required. When the mind steps aside and one hears without distortion, listening itself is meditation, and realization happens instantly. Practices exist only for those unable to truly listen.
Arjuna woke up just by truly listening to Krishna—you don’t need extra doing; listen so deeply your busy mind steps aside.
