What happens when the pace of sadhana feels baffling?

“

When sadhana baffles you, rejoice in the paradox that the divine is both ever-present and perpetually sought; it is in this confusion that the ego's grasp begins to dissolve.

— Osho

Core Insight:
According to Osho, when sadhana baffles you - seeming both complete and unfinished - you have reached an auspicious threshold where ego's gain/lose logic collapses. Do not fear it; rejoice. The divine is ever-present yet never fully possessed: you taste it and hunger grows. Accept the paradox: 'He is already found, and I must still seek.' Continue with gratitude, humility, and wonder.
If your practice feels both done and not done, that’s a good sign—stop judging, feel grateful, and keep going calmly.
Why this matters practically
- Stops ego swings between pride and despair.
- Builds steady, humble practice without chasing final attainment.
- Turns confusion into gratitude and curiosity, sustaining motivation.
