Is entering Tao a further evolution or a return?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"To enter the Tao is to return to your original nature, for true evolution lies not in moving forward, but in rediscovering the innocence that was always within you."
According to Osho, entering Tao is both evolution and return: going back to the original source is the real going forward. Life completes a circle—one ripens through worldly experience, regains childlike innocence now illuminated by awareness, and consciously reinhabits one’s original nature. This homecoming feels new because you are new; only by returning do you truly advance and flower into your divine wholeness.
You go out, learn from life, and then come home to your true self—simple like a child, but awake inside.
