practice
"Heal yourself first; only then can your presence become a medicine for the deeply unhappy. When you embody joy, love and compassion flow naturally, transforming not just yourself but those around you."
According to Osho, the best way to help the deeply unhappy is to first heal yourself: meditate, know your own being, and become inwardly blissful. Untransformed helpers spread their misery and drown others. When awareness flowers, love and compassion flow naturally; your presence itself becomes medicine. Live the truth directly—see the divine in life, not in books—and your authentic joy will guide and uplift.
First brighten your own inner light through meditation, then your warmth will naturally help others feel better.
