definition
"True transformation is not your doing; it is the grace of God that flows through you when you surrender your ego and embrace the Whole."
According to Osho, true transformation is God's work, not the ego's. You are never separate; even your hands are in God's hands. When the I empties and you consciously place yourself in the Whole's keeping, grace acts: clay turns to gold. Efforting as the doer keeps you small; surrendering the burden lets the divine initiative flow through you. This deepening recognition is sannyas.
Stop trying to change yourself and let the One who already holds you do the changing.
