According to Osho, when it is said that the supreme reality places the garland on the seeker, it means realization flowers only when the seeker’s exhaustive effort has shattered the subtlest ego of 'I can attain.' At that ripeness, the ever-available grace flows; not selective favor, but receptivity without doership, and truth 'crowns' the empty, surrendered heart.
After you try fully and drop the idea that you can win it, your heart opens—and life itself puts the prize around your neck.
