According to Osho, seeking is vital because the urge to know is built into life itself: life asks, “What is it?” When we inquire and discover our true nature—the ocean, not the wave—we live totally. This knowing dissolves fear of death and anxiety, transforms our meaning of living, and grants a fearless, joyful freedom no outer power can threaten.
We look for answers because life wants to know itself, and when we realize we’re the big ocean, not a tiny wave, fear fades and living becomes free and joyful.
