"In the longing to know, all opposites dissolve into nonduality; drop every "why" and run straight into the silent, unborn awareness that transcends all concepts."
According to Osho, genuine longing to know ripens into a clear seeing where all opposites—day/night, life/death, joy/sorrow—are recognized as complementary and finally dissolve into nonduality. This is the last halt before the goal. At that threshold, drop every "why" and concept, or you’ll regress; instead, run straight into the silent, unborn awareness that remains beyond all pairs.
When your wish to know gets deep, you see everything belongs together, and the wisest move is to stop asking why and rest in the quiet awareness behind it all.
