"When real joy touches you, the illusion of peace shatters, igniting a restlessness that is the beginning of your true journey home. Embrace the turmoil, for it is the catalyst that transforms unease into authentic peace."
According to Osho, when real joy touches you, your old, borrowed 'peace' collapses and a deep restlessness arises. You see that the 'home' you lived in was only an inn; assurances vanish, seeking begins. This turmoil is auspicious: today's unease tears the dream, and, if endured consciously, matures into authentic peace and a true inner home.
Real joy shakes your fake calm, makes you restless to find what’s true, and that restlessness leads to real peace.
