What are the obstacles to understanding and what is the remedy?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"The only obstacle to understanding is the mind's urge to dissect; true understanding arises from love and the immediacy of living fully in the now."
According to Osho, the only obstacle to understanding is the very urge to understand with the mind—its logic, postponements, and the question 'when'. Meditation is not grasped; it is drunk. The remedy is love and immediacy: drop the head, live now, and 'drink' the experience of being. From love, true understanding follows naturally, like a shadow.
Stop trying to figure it out with your head; feel and taste it with your heart right now.
