Living in this world, not in a monastery, not in an ivory tower, not in some region of isolation, but living in this world carrying on with our daily activities, is it possible to live without effort? Effort implies will. Will is the outcome of contradiction. Unless we understand this whole question of desire, not suppress it, not deny it or transcend it, or try to control it and drive it in a certain direction, it will not be possible to solve our problems totally.
Every human being is trying to put their best effort to accomplish something big in their life. But on contrary, we have consigned to oblivion that nothing is more important in this life to observe your life effortlessly. The whole paradigm shift is stating that all major activities happening to a person having no efforts at all. Blood running into our bodies, food getting digested, our senses are working effortlessly, we are breathing in and out very naturally and without any effort. If we just close our eyes and do nothing, no efforts, no thoughts and witness our mind & breath and will realise that we don't create thoughts, thoughts create the human mind and this process is effortlessly & naturally occurring in our lives.
One should always ask themselves that What do they mean by effortless effort?
Hard work is very important and much needed to achieve anything in this life but it should not be future-oriented. We should enjoy it, the process, not just for some other goal - even if nothing is attained through it, it is beautiful in itself.
If we start practising this approach will see that our efforts have become a more consistent, and positive outlook towards life.
"Meditation is simply awareness without any effort, effortless alertness; it does not need any technique" - OSHO
