According to Osho, transcendental joy need not begin with a calm or 'seeming' peace. It may start peacefully, but it just as easily can arise amid restlessness or upheaval. Avoid turning peace into a requirement; expectations create tension. Let experience unfold as it is, and joy flowers in its own way.
It might start calm, but it doesn’t have to—don’t force peace; let things be, and joy will grow by itself.
