Celebrating this moment


Celebrating this moment

Experiments with celebrating this moment

The Meditation Second for now:
Celebrating
THIS MOMENT!

Benefits:
While reading these words, exhale, relax, feel your body, as you are sitting here, become silent and be aware of yourself. This is celebration, this is our nature. This moment can be celebrated as any other moment.



Osho on our celebrative nature

The world is a song
"If you can trust nature, by and by you become quiet, silent, happy, joyful, celebrating – because nature is celebrating. Nature is a celebration. Look all around. Can you see any flower which looks like your saints? Can you see any rainbow which looks like your saints – or any cloud, or any bird singing, or the light reflecting in the river, or the stars? The world is celebrating. The world is not sad. The world is a song, an utterly beautiful song, and the dance continues. Become part of this dance and trust your nature."
Osho, excerpted from Ecstasy - The Forgotten Language, Chapter 6

Being reflected in the world

Existence is a mirror - celebrate!
It is you who are reflected in existence – the existence functions as a mirror. If you are dull and dead, there is nothing to celebrate because existence simply shows your dull and dead face. What is there to celebrate? If you are alive, flowering, singing a song, dancing a dance, the mirror reflects a dance, a song – there is much to celebrate. When you celebrate there is much more to celebrate, and it goes on and on. There is no end to it. If you don’t celebrate, by and by you become more and more dead and more and more dull. There is less and less to celebrate. Suddenly one day life is absolutely meaningless.

Osho, excerpted from Sufis: The People of the Path, Vol. 1, Chapter 11
