Life is a verb. Life is not a noun, it is really "living" not "life." It is not love,
it is loving. It is not relationship, it is relating. It is not a song, it is singing.
It is not a dance, it is dancing. See the difference, savor the difference.
The intelligent person hesitates, ponders, wavers.
The unintelligent never wavers, never hesitates.
Where the wise will whisper, the fool simply declares from the housetops.
Be life-affirmative. Life is synonymous with God.
You can drop the word God — life is God. Live with reverence, with great respect...gratitude. You have not earned the life, it has been a sheer gift from the beyond. Feel thankful and prayerful, and take as many bites of it as possible and chew well and digest well.

You go on dreaming, imagining beautiful things for the coming days, the future. But in moments when danger is imminent, then suddenly you become aware that there may be no future, no tomorrow, that this is the only moment you have got.
So times of disaster are very revealing. They don´t bring anything new in the world; they simply make you aware of the world as it is. They wake you up. If you don´t understand this, you can go mad; if you understand this, you can become awakened.
I know none of the readers will understand it. But I do. And hence this post.
Every now and then this Osho makes me realize that life is worth living and nothing is wrong in this world. In fact everything is right. All you need to do is stop compromising with life and everything will be right.
Here is another gem:
"There has never been a person like you before, there is not anybody else like you right now in the whole world, and there will never be anybody like you. Just see how much respect God has paid to you. You are a masterpiece — unrepeatable, incomparable, utterly unique. Even the hardest heart,
the rock-like heart, will start melting in gratitude"
Existence is abundant - millions and millions of flowers,
millions of birds, millions of animals — everything in abundance.
Nature is not ascetic, it is everywhere dancing — in the ocean, in the trees. It is everywhere singing — in the wind passing through the pine trees,
in the birds....
What is the need of millions of solar systems,
each solar system having millions of stars?
There seems to be no need,
except that abundance is the very nature of existence;
that richness is the very core; that existence does not believe in poverty
