definition
"You are already the goal; the seeker is the search. Drop seeking and become alert here and now to reveal your inherent wholeness."
According to Osho, the 'spiritual journey' of mystics is only a symbol: there is nowhere to go and nothing to attain. You are already the goal; the seeker is the search. Because language is worldly, mystics borrow metaphors—mountains, doors—that mislead when taken literally. Drop seeking, questioning, and postponement; become alert here and now. In that effortless silence, your inherent wholeness reveals itself.
There’s no trip to take—be quiet and notice you’re already home inside.
