What is the goal of life if one has to drop all desires?

The goal of life is not to fulfill desires but to transcend them, allowing the heart to become a still lake where the ultimate mystery reflects within.

— Osho
According to Osho, the goal of life is not desire-fulfillment but desirelessness—arrived at by passing consciously through desires until their futility ripens into understanding. Do not repress or borrow conclusions; mature by experiencing fully, so the heart becomes a still lake. In that stillness, life-energy meets existence, tension ends, and the ultimate mystery reflects within—you become a mirror, tasting supreme blessedness beyond all craving.

Live your desires with awareness until you see they don’t truly satisfy, and a natural, peaceful stillness arises where real joy and clarity appear.
