definition
"The here and now is all that truly exists; live this moment intensely, for tomorrow never arrives."
According to Osho, the here and now is emphasized because it is all that truly exists—here is the only space, now the only time; tomorrow never arrives. Therefore, don’t let this moment slip by unused: live it intensely, squeeze all its juice, and you won’t need to repent later for having missed your life.
Because only this moment is real; if you wait for later, it never comes, so live and act now.
Why this matters practically
- Breaks procrastination: make choices and take action now.
- Increases joy and presence in everyday tasks and relationships.
