"Bring the sacred into the ordinary, for true spirituality is not found in escape, but in the dance of daily life."
According to Osho, effective transmission to the West means dropping antagonism to the marketplace and bringing realization back into ordinary life. Speak the West’s language—commerce, daily work, humor—revealing the sacred in ‘one pound of flax’ or even cornflakes. Don’t escape to mountains; complete the circle by returning, embodying insight amidst buying, selling, and relationships.
Live your spirituality openly in everyday Western life without judging the market, and show that ordinary things are already sacred.
