"Transcendence is not a distant goal; it is the immediate realization that your mind is the source of your suffering. When you stop blaming others and turn your gaze inward, liberation happens here and now."
According to Osho, going beyond the mind is not a long, gradual journey but an immediate shift of understanding. It's not a desire to be pursued; it's the clarity that the mind itself creates your misery. When you stop blaming others and see this directly, you cannot remain in the mind—the transcendence happens here and now, by allowing it.
Like pulling your hand from a hot stove, the moment you truly see your mind is causing the pain, you step out of it—no waiting.
