According to Osho, transformation is not far at all - it's just the few inches from head to heart. Drop clinging to the mind and ego, stop seeking enlightenment as an achievement, and let yourself be overwhelmed by presence, love, silence, and dance. When 'you' disappear, transformation is already there. Agony comes from self-concern; ecstasy arises in egoless, meditative awareness. Forget attainment and simply slip downward into the heart's wonder.
It's very close; stop trying to get enlightened, relax into your heart, and let go of 'me'—then the change is already happening.
