outcome
"Real spirituality is overflowing joy; if dance arises, dance; if stillness arises, let the soul dance within."
According to Osho, enlightenment has many expressions: some masters danced, sang and whirled—Krishna, Chaitanya, Rumi, Meera, Kabir, Nanak—while others like Buddha, Lao Tzu, Bodhidharma did not outwardly dance because their inner being was dancing. There is no rule. Real spirituality is overflowing joy; if dance arises, dance; if stillness arises, let the soul dance within.
Yes—enlightened people may dance on the outside or feel a happy dance inside; follow what’s true and joyful.
