Do we have missions to fulfill?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Your only task is to flower into your own being; when you are truly yourself, the Whole may work through you effortlessly, but that is grace, not a mission."
According to Osho, no individual has a mission to fulfill; ‘mission’ is an ego trip that breeds conflict and do‑gooder harm. Your sole task is to flower into your own being—be ordinary, blissful, and leave others in peace. When you are yourself, the Whole may work through you effortlessly, but that is grace, not a mission.
You don’t have a special job from God—just be your simple, happy self and let life do the rest.
