Chapter 1 from Gopal’s (Bahram Moteraassed Spitama) new book, From Darkness Into Light: Why Stay in the Shadow When We Are Meant to Shine in the Light?
“Do something that comes out of you – not to assert, but to express! Sing your song, dance your dance, rejoice in being whatever nature has chosen you to be,” says Osho.
This month’s horoscope by Phoebe with quotes by Osho; “Love is the experience in which all your impurities are washed away and you throw open all your doors.”
Osho concludes his commentaries on the last stanzas: ‘With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful.’
Osho speaks on further lines from the Desiderata, starting with ‘Neither be cynical about love… Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.’
Osho comments on the quote from the Desiderata: ‘Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter…’
Osho continues with the line in Desiderata: ‘Without surrender, without making any compromise, remain yourself.’
“The new man, he will be complete, entire, acquainted with the outside world and acquainted with the inside world as well,” says Osho. From our series 1001 Tales, compiled by Shanti.
