Ask Osho!

How can we cultivate a thirst for spiritual practice?

“

Thirst for spiritual practice cannot be given; it must be awakened from within by honoring your own questions and embracing the wonder of existence.

— Osho

According to Osho, thirst for practice can’t be implanted from outside; water can be offered, never thirst. The longing to know truth already lives in everyone as raw curiosity. Cultivation means stop suppressing it: notice your questions, honor wonder, refuse secondhand answers and social lies, and let inquiry lead you. Masters may provoke, but only you awaken it.

You already have spiritual thirst—stop covering it with borrowed answers and distractions, and follow your curiosity.
