practice
"Let your tears flow and your memories arise; witness them like clouds passing, and in their wake, rest in the silent awareness of love transformed into gratitude."
According to Osho, let the tears flow and the remembrance arise; do not suppress, do not indulge. Simply witness everything—tears, devotion, ecstasy—like clouds passing. Use the image or memory as a doorway inward, not a crutch. When the storm subsides, rest in silent awareness. Let love ripen into gratitude, and gratitude into pure witnessing.
If you cry in meditation, let it happen and just watch it like rain; don’t hold on, and when it stops, sit quietly inside.
