"Embrace aloneness as a nourishing solitude, but beware of laziness, for it is a retreat from the vibrant creativity of existence. Be relaxed yet overflowing with energy, participating in life with grace and ease."
According to Osho, enjoying aloneness is perfectly right—it nourishes you—but enjoying laziness is a mistake. Laziness is a negative, guilty dropout from existence’s creativity. Don’t confuse it with ease. His teaching: be utterly relaxed yet overflowing with energy, like trees—at ease whether active or still—participating in life without tension or hurry.
Being happily alone is good; being lazy makes you feel guilty and cut off—so relax like a calm, lively tree, full of energy even when you’re not doing anything.
