"Feel like a guest on Earth, for you arrive naked and leave soon; offer yourself, not possessions, and leave the world more beautiful for those who follow."
According to Osho, to feel like a guest on Earth is to remember we arrive naked and leave soon; nothing is ours but our own being. As grateful visitors in a vast caravanserai, we should offer ourselves—not things—live lightly, avoid possessiveness, and leave the world a little more beautiful, human, and fragrant for the unknown guests who follow.
We’re just visiting here, so be thankful, don’t cling to stuff, give your heart, and clean up for the next visitors.
