What happens when I experience the flower?

"To truly experience the flower is to be in the living now; the moment you name it, you transform the experience into a mere memory."
According to Osho, while you are truly with the flower there is only ‘experiencing’—a living, wordless now. The moment you name it or report it, the experiencing has died into ‘experience,’ a memory of the past. Experiencing is immediate presence; experience is a trace. So, nothing to say happens—until later, when remembrance replaces the living encounter.
When you’re with the flower, just feel it now; as soon as you describe it, it’s already a memory.
