Is running necessary in order to stop?

Running is merely the mind's deception; true freedom arises not from the chase, but from the profound stillness of stopping.

— Osho
According to Osho, running was necessary only in the sense that you have already run enough; it cannot bring stopping. Life’s race is the mind’s deception—changing goals, speeds, and paths while perpetuating suffering. Nothing is wrong but the running itself. See this and drop activity: stop now, rest, sink into non-doing. In stopping, freedom happens.

You’ve already been running; the problem is running itself—just stop and be still now.
