Ask Osho!

What happens when I give up trying to be what I think I should be?

Synthesized from Source outcome

"In surrendering the struggle to become a self-image, you dissolve the ego and open to the intrinsic flow of life, allowing existence to guide you effortlessly."

According to Osho, when you give up the willful struggle to become a self-image, a liberating gap opens: no will, no way, no ‘you.’ In that surrender, fear meets trust, the ego melts, and your life resumes its intrinsic flow—like a river inevitably finding the ocean. Ease replaces effort; simply remain melted, present, and let existence guide you.
Stop forcing yourself, relax into trust, and life will carry you where you need to go—like a river to the ocean.
