Feel more sense more, let your heart function. The intelligence of the heart creates poetry in your life, gives dance to your steps, makes your life a joy… a festivity, a laughter… It makes you capable of love, of sharing. That is true life. – Osho

703 – What is better, laughter or prayers?
Laughter is far more sacred than prayer, because prayer can be done by anyone, it does not require much intelligence. Laughter requires intelligence, it requires presence of mind, a quickness of seeing into things. In deep laughter the ego disappears if the ego is there it will keep you serious. – Osho
524 – Develop the eye of wisdom
Osho spoke,
The third eye is where one puts the tilak, the vermilion mark on the forehead. It was devised as a symbol of that unknown world. This point is not in the same place for everyone. It is said that if someone has meditated for a long time in his/her past lives and has had a small experience of samadhi his/her third eye will be lower down. If no meditation has been done, the place on the forehead is higher up. It can be determined by the position of this point, what the state of one’s meditation was in one’s past life; it will indicate whether the state of samadhi ever happened to one in one’s past life. If it happened often then, this point will have come down lower, it will be at the same level as one’s eyes—it cannot go lower than that. If this point has come in line with one’s eyes, then one can enter samadhi. The happening is so small that it is insignificant.

478 – Happiness makes you your own person
Find your roots within yourself. If you belong to a crowd, there is no further growth. You are dependent on others for company and this gives you anxiety.

387 – Sound of Dewdrops
This morning I watched the dewdrops falling on the flowers, but their footsteps could not be heard. How peacefully, how silently, and with so much love, were the dewdrops falling. Godliness descends in just the same way when the heart is ready. You realize that it is happening only when it has arrived. Continue reading
359 – Possession and possessiveness
What is the definition of possession? Something that you own or are carrying with you. Why does possession have such a powerful hold on us?

273 – Be selfish and engage in meditation and prayers
We are in a state of misery. We are deluged by misfortunes. Famine, floods and war. There are shortages everywhere. Innocents are being shot in schools, fires raging.

War does not only mean a battle but there is also an ongoing war against disease and pestilence. It has afflicted our thinking. There are politicians who are talking about maintaining peace but actually they are preparing for war to preserve peace. Continue reading
172 – What do you carry?
When I think of this, I see myself as a donkey carrying a load. My cargo is my anxieties, thoughts, cares and fears. When I examine my burden, I am stunned. My anxieties are many. I hope I do not get Covid, I have had all my vaccinations, I am washing my hands constantly, gritting my teeth as my hands are getting rough. Continue reading
163 – What is love
How do we become capable of love? Osho explains it very beautifully. Love is spontaneous. It cannot be controlled. We cannot make love; we cannot do anything about it. And the more we do, the more we will miss it. We have to allow it to happen. We are not needed for it. We cannot absent ourselves and therefore, we have become incapable of love. Continue reading

A friend once said to me, ”Wouldn’t it be good to change the world.” I said “Forget about the world: I change myself and you change yourself, then the world will itself be transformed. What else is the world other than the connection between you and me.” Continue reading
