What will I gain from my desire?
Synthesized from Source
outcome
"Desire gains you nothing; it is the movement of ego and greed that leaves only ashes. Drop the urge to get, and awaken to the truth of your own innermost nature."
According to Osho, desire gains you nothing—its very movement is ego and greed, leaving only ashes and emptiness. Here the path is losing: drop the urge to get, and what remains irreducibly is truth—your own innermost nature, God within. Seeking—even for meditation or samadhi—postpones seeing. Stop running; awaken to what is already yours.
Chasing things (even spiritual ones) won’t give you real treasure; stop chasing and notice the jewel already inside you.
