Core Insight:
According to Osho, the religious path never begins with a desire for religion; desire itself is the world. It starts when worldly craving collapses into deep disenchantment, ending the urge to get anything. From that defeat arises desirelessness and the simple joy of being—no attainment, no bargaining, merely arrival. Religion is being, not getting; stillness reveals the already-present self: Aham Brahmasmi.
