According to Osho, reality is exactly this—neither hidden nor elsewhere—and it carries no mental 'meaning.' Suffering is the result of being unnatural; happiness flowers when you are simply natural. Don’t try to be natural; just see your unnaturalness and it relaxes. When ‘things are as they are’ is realized, meditation unfolds.
Reality isn’t somewhere else; stop forcing yourself and gently notice what’s fake—then ease and clarity appear.
