"To sit steadfastly at the gate of life, embrace the dance of birth and death as one, for in fearless witnessing, the blackboard of death reveals the writing of immortality."
According to Osho, to sit steadfastly at the gate of life, realize life and death are one movement—each inhalation birth, each exhalation death.
