According to Osho, Lao Tzu’s ‘non-journeying’ isn’t contradicted by his sutras of practice; the contradiction is linguistic. True practice is a negative device—like counting to fall asleep—that bores the doer, dissolves the ‘how,’ and lets non-action happen. The center already exists; practices only dispel illusions so that, in ceasing to try, one awakens to what is.
Lao Tzu’s “practices” just tire out your trying, so effort drops and what’s already true shows itself.
