Profound thought on Life

A comfortable, convenient life is not a real life
–the more comfortable, the less alive.
The most comfortable life is in the grave.

If you are alive there is inconvenience.
If you are alive there are challenges.
If you are alive then every moment you have to face reality,
encounter reality.

Every moment you have to be… ready to change and to move.
Reality has no security and that is its beauty.
Life has no security and that is its beauty.

Because there is no security,
there is adventure.
Because the future is unknown,
nobody knows what is going to happen the next moment.
That’s why there is challenge,
growth, adventure.

If you miss adventure,
you miss all.
If your life is not that of an adventure,
of a search into the unknown,
then you are living in vain.

~ OSHO ~

Somewhere I have mentioned that what I will presenting here is distilled from what I have learnt from great masters. Osho is one of them. His excerpts like this say a profound thing in such simple language and that is the beauty of learning from great masters. Print this and keep it where you can see it. Read it when you feel distressed. Before you begin complaining, give it a thought. I promise, the dark clouds will lift and you will see the light. Stress will dissolve and will make way for calm and serenity.

For those who don’t know, Osho, considered as one of the best known philosopher, thinker, provocative spiritual teacher of 20th Century. Sunday Times of London called him as one the “1000 Makers of Twentieth Century”. American Novelist Tom Robbins called him as “the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.”
