Does the deep longing for the ultimate lead to fulfillment?

outcome
"Fulfillment is not found in longing for the ultimate, but in turning inward to discover your own beauty and resting in your true presence."
According to Osho, mere longing—even inspired by a master—is only a beginning; it will not by itself lead to the ultimate. Fulfillment arises when you turn from the teacher to your own center: see your own beauty, hear your inner voice, and rest in your presence. Through effortless effort—meditation as total relaxation, withdrawing outward-seeking—one silently slips within, where the 'great noontide' and ultimate realization happen.
Just wanting is not enough; sit quietly, relax, look inside, and let it happen by itself.
