"When joy and sadness arise without reason, you have entered the realm of divine madness; embrace the spontaneity of life and let your laughter and tears flow together in ecstatic celebration."
According to Osho, when joy and sadness arise without any reason, you’ve already slipped into divine ‘cuckoo’—the ecstatic, holy madness of the mystics. The ladder back is gone; now spontaneity rules. Let the songs and the tears flow together; laughter and crying will alternate naturally. Don’t fix the past—simply move forward and celebrate; nothing remains to be done but to live this overflowing ecstasy.
It means you’ve opened to a happy-crazy aliveness where laughing and crying just happen—let it be and enjoy.
