definition
"When concepts fall away, being shines forth, and the path reveals itself in the simplicity of the moment; virtue becomes a spontaneous expression of truth, untainted by the mind's labels."
According to Osho, when concepts fall away, there is nothing to 'discern': mind’s labels end and being shines. Then wherever you are is the path; what you are is the seer. Virtue isn’t a rule but spontaneous rightness—when mind is absent, what should happen, happens. Interpretation ceases, truth is directly tasted, like savoring a flower without calling it beautiful or ugly.
Drop the mental labels, and your own being naturally walks the way, does what’s right, and knows itself.
