According to Osho, no one actually chooses suffering; they choose bliss—and that very choice breeds misery. Choice divides life’s totality and creates fear of what is denied, while clinging to passing happiness in a changing world ensures anxiety and loss. Bliss is not a choice but a state of choiceless awareness: witnessing, nonattachment, and acceptance of life’s flux bring effortless, undivided joy.
We suffer because we try to grab happiness and avoid pain; if we stop choosing and simply watch life come and go, peace appears on its own.
