One has to learn to like that which is happening

//Sannyasin://
    What's mainly been bothering me is that I don't feel anything very intensely.

//Osho://
    So don't! There is nothing wrong in it.

//Sannyasin://
    But I've been through spaces where I've felt a lot more open and that more things were happening to me…

//Osho://
    It changes... climates change. Sometimes it is winter, sometimes it is summer. If you are always in the same, you will feel stuck.

//Sannyasin://
    But I do feel stuck now.

//Osho://
    Because you want to have something other than what is happening. ONE HAS TO LEARN TO LIKE THAT WHICH IS HAPPENING. That is what I call maturity. One has to like that which is already there. Immaturity is always living in 'oughts', 'shoulds', and never living in the 'is' -- and 'is' is the case, 'should' is just a dream.

    One 'should' live intensely. Why? WHATSOEVER IS THE CASE IS GOOD. Love it and like it and relax into it. When sometimes intensity comes, love it; when it goes, say goodbye. THINGS CHANGE... LIFE IS A FLUX. Nothing remains the same -- so sometimes great spaces and sometimes nowhere to move. But both are good. Both are gifts from God. ONE SHOULD BE SO GRATEFUL THAT WHATSOEVER HAPPENS, ONE IS GRATEFUL, THANKFUL.

    I don't see any problem. JUST ENJOY IT. This is what is happening right now. Tomorrow it may change -- then enjoy that. The day after tomorrow something else may happen -- enjoy that. Don't compare the past with futile future fantasies. LIVE THE MOMENT. Sometimes it is hot, sometimes very cold, but both are needed otherwise life will disappear. It lives in polarities.

    So let this be your meditation: WHATSOEVER HAPPENS, LIKE IT. Give it a try, mm?
