Is 'Dance, sing, celebrate' the essence of bhakti?

Bhakti is the spontaneous celebration of the Divine, where joy overflows like a festival of bliss, and devotion blossoms effortlessly in the recognition of the Beloved.

— Osho
According to Osho, yes: bhakti ripens when the Divine’s presence is felt, and its essence is spontaneous celebrationdance, song, gratitude—rather than austerities or striving. Devotion is trust and adoration after the Beloved is recognized; it flowers by itself like spring in trees. The devotee doesn’t force practices; joy overflows as a festival of bliss, an offering at the Beloved’s feet.

When you feel God is real, your heart naturally wants to sing and dance in thanks; you don’t need to force tough rituals.
