What should I do when I feel hopeless after years of practice?

“

Let your hopelessness deepen until hope itself drops, for in that collapse, you will find the richness of the present where true realization awaits.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, your hopelessness isn’t ripe yet—let it deepen until hope itself drops. Hope is desire and escape into the future; when it collapses, you fall into the present, where realization happens. Be patient and humble—ten years is little before the vast. Don’t hide; ask, expose your ignorance, and continue without expectation.
Let hopelessness grow until hope falls away, rest in the present, be humble and patient, and openly ask for help.
Why this matters practically
- Ends the chase for future fixes and brings you into the only real moment.
- Dissolves egoic shame with humility and patience.
- Openness to ask breaks isolation and accelerates understanding.
