definition
"Poetry is not just revolutionary; it is the very essence of revolution, inviting us to embrace existence with wonder, compassion, and a celebration of life."
According to Osho, poetry isn’t merely revolutionary; it is revolution—a total metanoia that shifts us from aggressive, power-seeking reason to loving, celebrative feeling. Poetry means meeting existence with wonder, nonviolence, and compassion, living as a mystic rather than a politician. It is not argued or 'told' but embodied and shown; it drops the fight and befriends life.
Poetry is living with open-hearted wonder that replaces fighting and ambition with love and presence.
