What is the price to be paid to attain the divine without tormenting the body?

“

Seek the divine not through pain, but by embracing joy; true happiness is found in harmony with your own being.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source definition
Core Insight:
According to Osho, there is no price of pain to reach the divine; torment severs you from it. Choose what is a joy to your nature and drop imitative austerities. Happiness means harmony with your own being; unhappiness means going against it. Therefore seek God by being drunk with joy, experimenting to find meditations and disciplines that delight your body-mind, not by forcing practices that hurt.
Find God by following the joyful path that fits you, not by hurting yourself or copying others.
Why this matters practically
- Choose practices that feel energizing, so you stay consistent.
- Listening to your nature prevents burnout and guilt from harsh austerity.
- Stop imitating others and discover your authentic way to peace.
