Osho on Why do we choose the mind instead of flowing with the Tao?

Why do we choose the mind instead of flowing with the Tao?

The ego clings to the mind, fearing the bliss of dissolving into the vastness of the Tao, preferring the suffering of a cramped identity over the freedom of surrender.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source outcome
Because melting into the big everything feels scary, our little ego chooses thinking and control, building walls instead of relaxing into loving openness.
Why this matters practically
- Notice when fear of losing control fuels overthinking and conflict.
- Relax into silence and loving presence to taste no-mind.
- Choose connection over ego-defenses to ease suffering.
