"Reinterpret the feeling of being ancient as a celebration of ripening; embrace each season of life with totality, for in maturity lies the wisdom of innocence."
According to Osho, reinterpret the feeling of being ancient as ripening, not decline: celebrate the season you’re in. Life and death are complementary; leaves fall to rest. Cultivate simple awareness—be a watcher on the hill—so you don’t identify with passing stages. Live totally when it’s time to dance, rest when it’s time to rest, and trust the wisdom-rich innocence maturity brings.
