"Living fully in the here and now, without hope, transforms you; it dissolves the burdens of the past and future, allowing you to experience the depth and intensity of life in each moment."
According to Osho, when you live totally here and now without hope, you become mature, because hope is a childish projection of the past into the future. Life gains depth and intensity that births real happiness. A transformation happens: psychological time dissolves into the eternal present, actions become total, leaving no karmic residue, no burden from yesterday and no need for tomorrow—you move freely, light, complete in each moment.
Stop hoping and be fully here now, and you’ll feel happy, light, and free because nothing is left unfinished or dragging you to past or future.
