According to Osho, being only partly on the right path still means you’re on the wrong road; true compassion will unsettle you—by ninety-five percent if needed—so you turn back completely. However far you’ve gone, you must return; delay only deepens the detour and postpones correction to another life. The sooner you reverse, the less wasted effort and suffering.
If your road is even partly wrong, a caring guide will shake you so you turn around now before wasting more steps.
