Core Insight:
According to Osho, there is no real contradiction: Jesus urged beginners to ask, seek, and knock because movement is needed to start the journey; Lao Tzu’s (and Osho’s) counsel to “don’t ask, don’t seek” is for the mature, where all striving must be dropped. Spiritual truth reverses at the peak—run at first, then slow, and finally stop—only then does grace give itself.
