What do you do? Nothing. You do not try to fix anything. You do not even try to change. You simply become your Self, just the way you really are. You leave the world alone. You leave things alone, you leave people alone.
Robert Adams
You're looking for something. You're looking for a solution, the answer to a problem. You're looking to change your life. You're looking for something outside of yourself. As long as you do that, you'll never find it. Truth, reality, rests within you.

Change no one, change nothing. React to no one, react to nothing. Do not react to the world. Do not react to your own body. Do not react to your own thoughts. Learn to become the witness. Learn to be quiet. Live in the eternal 'now'.

Life is most skillfully lived when one sails a boat rather than rowing it. It’s more intelligent to sail than to row. With oars I have to use my muscles and my effort to drag myself along the water. But with a sail, I let the wind do the work for me. And it is more skillful still when I learn to tack and let the wind blow me against the direction of the wind.
That balance of participation is the whole philosophy of the Tao. It’s called, in Chinese, wu wei; wu is “non,” and wei is “striving.”
“ACCEPT EVERYTHING. All that happens to you, accept and welcome it. NOTHING IS WRONG, NOTHING CAN BE WRONG -- that should be the basic attitude. Everything is holy -- going astray too.”
—Osho
Unless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced that effort will take you nowhere. The self is so self-confident, that unless it is totally discouraged, it will not give up. Mere verbal conviction is not enough.
Don't be knowledgeable. Don't be a teacher -- be a friend. Befriend them and start looking for cues for innocence, for spontaneity, for intelligence. - Osho
Sacrificing parents are the most dangerous parents in the world. The most crippling impact happens through the sacrificing parents. They are good people – they are the best people you can find – but because they sacrifice, they expect their children also to sacrifice in return.
"As you get yourself out of the way, the same power that grows the grass, that causes the flowers to bloom, that grows oranges on orange trees, will take care of you. You have nothing to fear."

Awakened people were such extreme outliers, that the methods they had to present to the people around them had to be so severe "to get where they are", that those methods are in many cases totally out of the "regular persons" flow of life/being.
Remember always that whatsoever is happening around you is rooted in the mind. Mind is always the cause. It is the projector, and outside there are only screens – you project yourself. If you feel it is ugly then change the mind.
