"Pratyahara is not a practice to be forced; it is the natural return to your source, where awareness effortlessly unfolds in the simplicity of everyday life."
According to Osho, pratyahara is not hard but utterly natural: you never really left your source. Like the Ganges returning to Gangotri and the tree folding back into the seed, withdrawal happens by itself; the 'practice' is simply to wake up to it. Drop identification with thoughts and habits, stay aware in ordinary acts—even running a paan shop—and awareness itself brings you home despite worldly obstacles.
You don’t need to force anything—just wake up and see you never left your inner home.
