According to Osho, desiring only happiness is impossible: happiness and sorrow are inseparable like two sides of a coin. Pursuing one generates the other—and even unbroken happiness decays into boredom. Real wisdom drops the lens of desire, accepts life’s polarities, and lives watchfully. In that non-choosing awareness, suffering relaxes and a deeper contentment emerges.
You can’t keep only the happy side of life; accept both ups and downs and stay aware, and you’ll feel more at ease.
