What is the significance of greater effort?

Greater effort is not about battling external obstacles, but about refining your approach and deepening your commitment until surrender becomes inevitable.

— Osho
According to Osho, greater effort means correcting your method and intensifying your totality, not battling outside obstacles. If you 'survive' the jump—if the ego remains—the effort was partial or misapplied. Go a few floors higher: refine the approach, deepen commitment, and try again. Failure is feedback that the method lacked totality; increase intensity until surrender happens.

If it doesn’t work, don’t blame obstacles—fix your way and try more totally until your ‘I’ no longer stands apart.
