According to Osho, we make effort because we can’t bear suffering: unable even to look at it, we rush to change it. The mind piles up reasons for doing, but true equanimity and liberation appear when we can validly choose non-doing—when “not doing is enough.” Effort serves avoidance; freedom comes by resting in aware non-action, letting things be.
We keep doing things to dodge pain, but real peace arrives when we can simply stop and allow everything as it is.
