Synthesized from Source
definition
"To embrace self-expression is to honor the sacredness of life itself; in the union of Zorba and Buddha, we find that true spiritual growth flourishes in the richness of our present experience."
According to Osho, teachings that condone self-expression are revolutionary because they lovingly accept human nature without repression, honoring the body, senses, love, and this life as sacred. He unites Zorba and Buddha (enjoyment and awareness), so full, tasteful living becomes the foundation for spiritual growth. No promised otherworld is needed; depth here-now reveals the beyond, guided by a fellow human, not a savior.
Be fully yourself—enjoy life with awareness—because living your natural self wisely is the doorway to real spirituality.
