Do 'sahaj' and 'yoga' not seem mutually opposed?

In the dance of life, sahaj and yoga are not enemies but lovers; through the tension of effort and surrender, the ultimate truth blossoms.

— Osho
According to Osho, sahaj (effortless non-doing) and yoga (effortful practice) are genuinely opposed, yet life’s truth flowers only through such opposites. Their creative tension is complementary: disciplined striving ripens you for relaxed surrender, and in their unionaction through non-action—the ultimate descends. Transcending either/or logic, the ‘third eye’ sees and yokes both; this is true Sahaj Yoga.

Like working hard all day so you can sleep deeply at night, you practice fully and then relax totally—both together open the way.
