What are the nature and significance of problems?

Problems are not a part of reality; they are the shadows cast by a clinging mind, and in the presence of true awareness, they dissolve into nothingness.

— Osho
According to Osho, problems don’t belong to reality; they belong to the mind that clings. They multiply with people and their egos, but before a master who is a choiceless emptiness, they find no surface to stick to and disappear. Their significance is diagnostic and transformative: they expose attachment, and by surrendering them into awareness, one discovers the abyss-like freedom where problems cannot survive.

Problems only stick to a clinging mind; let go into empty awareness (or a master’s emptiness) and they drop away.
