Why think of gaining after losing?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"True renunciation is not a strategy for gain; it is the unconditional surrender that opens the space for everything to appear by itself."
According to Osho, don’t scheme to gain by losing; true renunciation cannot be a strategy. The ‘finding everything’ is not a promise but a natural consequence of egoless letting go. If you renounce to obtain, you haven’t renounced and cannot let go. Only unconditional surrender—without motive, calculation, or hope—opens the space where ‘everything’ appears by itself.
If you let go just to get a reward, you’re still holding on; truly drop it, and what’s needed comes on its own.
