Will leaving the world guarantee me happiness?

Happiness is not found in leaving the world, but in dropping your cravings and resting in your true self; be a light unto yourself, and joy will blossom within.

— Osho
According to Osho, leaving the world cannot guarantee happiness, because ‘the world’ is your craving for happiness. Neither grasping nor renouncing brings joy; joy arises when craving drops and you rest in yourself. No outer assurance is possible—happiness depends on your understanding. Change your outlook, turn inward, be a light unto yourself; then happiness can be now.

Running away won’t make you happy; stop chasing happiness and look inside, and peace appears when the craving ends.
