According to Osho, the so‑called inner journey is mostly imagination, because ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ are mind-made divisions and any journey is outward. Truth is pathless: either you’re asleep (a buddhu) or awake (a Buddha); there are no stages. The real inner happens when all seeking stops, movement ceases, and awareness simply is—then imagination ends and light is within.
Trying to go inside is still going somewhere; when you stop going anywhere and just be, you wake up and find the inside was always here.
