"Misery may close your eyes and sever your connections, but even in sadness, learn to celebrate, for that is where the depth of existence and the presence of the master are revealed."
According to Osho, the feeling of being alone in suffering arises not because the inner journey is inherently solitary, but because misery closes your eyes and breaks your bridges with life. He says he is with you always; you realize it in celebration. Learn to enjoy—even sadness—so openness returns, depth unfolds, and connection with existence and the master is felt even in pain.
You feel alone when sad because you shut yourself; open with joy and you’ll sense you’re never really alone—even sadness can feel connected.
Why this matters practically
- Shift from heavy seriousness to sincere joy to perceive support and guidance.
- Welcome and watch sadness; it deepens you without cutting you off.
- Use celebration and awareness as a key to stay connected even in illness or pain.
