Ask Osho!

How can we choose the right path when the mind seeks the easy way?

Synthesized from Source practice

"The right path is not found in the convenience of the mind, but in the stillness of your inner being; when you turn inward and quiet the noise, your true guidance emerges."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the 'right path' is revealed not by the mind—which prefers convenience—but by the silent depth within. Become more meditative: turn inward, disidentify from body and thought, and allow stillness. When the mind is quiet, answers arise from your inner master/buddha-nature with a distinctly different quality, guiding you moment-to-moment without external dependence.
Quiet your busy mind and listen inside; the deeper, still part of you will show the way.
Why this matters practically
- Helps you avoid the mind’s lazy shortcuts and choose what’s truly right for you.
- Builds inner clarity so decisions feel grounded and unconflicted.
- Reduces dependence on outer authorities by awakening your own guidance.
