Ask Osho!

How can we distinguish between our will and His will?

Synthesized from Source definition

"There is no "your will"—only His; surrender means moving with reality, listening to the intelligence of the moment rather than the rigid concepts of the ego."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, there is no “your will”—only His; the urge to distinguish is the ego’s defense. His will is whatever is, including the living promptings of your heart and the world’s warnings. Listen to the intelligence of the moment, not rigid concepts. Surrender means letting actions and their consequences be His, moving with reality rather than resisting it.
There isn’t a separate “me” choosing—trust the clear inner nudge and obvious signals life gives, and let both actions and outcomes belong to the Whole.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces egoic doubt so you respond to reality, not stubborn ideas.
- Builds humility and acceptance of consequences without blame.
- Deepens inner listening aligned with the present moment.
