OSHO

Celebration

I am in tremendous love with life, hence I teach celebration. Everything has to be celebrated, everything has to be lived, loved. To me nothing is mundane and nothing is sacred. To me all is sacred, from the lowest rung of the ladder to the highest rung. It is the same ladder: from the body to the soul, from the physical to the spiritual, from sex to SAMADHI — everything is divine!
My sannyasins celebrate everything. Celebration is the foundation of my sannyas — not renunciation but rejoicing; rejoicing in all the beauties, all the joys, all that life offers, because this whole life is a gift of God.
- Come, Come, Yet Again Come, Chapter #2

Enjoy this celebration as much as possible, because whatever remaining falsities, personalities, parts here and there may have remained, they will be thrown away by your dance. Enjoy… this existence is for your enjoyment. It is our existence, it is our home.
Nobody is a sinner except those who don’t celebrate.
To me, celebration is the only virtue.
- The Great Pilgrimage: From Here to Here, Chapter #12

I want to remind you that whether I am here or not the celebration has to continue. If I am not here, then it has to be more intense and it has to spread around the world.
Celebration is my religion.
Love is my message.
Silence is my truth.
- Nansen: The Point of Departure, Chapter #10

Your celebration will bring you closer to existence, because existence is in constant celebration. Your joy, your blissfulness, your silence, will bring the silences of the stars and the sky; your peace with existence will open the doors of all the mysteries it contains. There is no other way to become enlightened.
- The Rebel, Chapter #5

Celebration is without any cause. Celebration is simply because we are. We are made out of the stuff called celebration. That’s our natural state: to celebrate — as natural as it is for the trees to bloom, for birds to sing, for rivers to flow to the ocean. Celebration is a natural state.

Celebration is the highest growth of consciousness, expression, manifestation, flowering of the Golden Flower.
I teach you celebration. Celebration is my key.
