"Embrace the certainty of death, for in its acceptance, fear dissolves and life blooms in its fullest intensity. Let each moment of joy elevate you, transforming the awareness of death into a deeper celebration of existence."
According to Osho, when fear of death surfaces amid joy, accept death’s certainty; then fear evaporates, relaxation dawns, and life flowers in total intensity. Live so wholly that even illness melts and, if death comes, it arrives as a friendly, cleansing sleep. Each peak of joy should open into higher peaks—use death-awareness to deepen celebration, not to cling.
If you remember death is certain, fear fades and you can enjoy fully—then even death feels like a peaceful sleep.
