Why is the path to attaining God so hard and full of suffering?

outcome
"The path to God is not hard; it is our own complexities that create the illusion of distance. Simply turn inward, shed your attachments, and you will find the Divine is here, now."
According to Osho, the way to God is not difficult at all; our own complications make it seem so. Attachment to habits, immediate gains, and doubt create the pain of 'dropping' our inner diseases. You are the path: change direction, become simple, turn inward, and the distance vanishes—the Divine is here, now.
It’s easy to find God—like turning around to see the sun—but it feels hard because we cling to habits and face the wrong way.
Why this matters practically
- Let go of habitual payoffs and ego; the ‘pain’ is just dropping inner diseases.
- Correct your direction: turn inward with simplicity, honesty, and meditation.
- Move with sincerity now; nearness to the Divine appears the moment you turn.
