According to Osho, we shun the obvious because the mind craves difficulty and conquest; the simple truth of our own being offers nothing to win and heralds the mind’s death. To survive, mind runs outward—to Everest, moon, God, heaven—anywhere but inward silence. Turning into your isness dissolves mind and reveals a lush, musical mystery: freedom, beauty, and the highest truth already here.
We avoid what’s simple—just being ourselves—because the mind loves hard adventures and fears it will vanish if we sit quietly and look inside.
