"When you start to like your sadness, it transforms into a flowering of depth and beauty, revealing gifts that happiness alone cannot offer. Embrace both sadness and joy without clinging, and you will discover an undivided inner harmony."
According to Osho, when you start liking your sadness, it ceases to be sad. Acceptance turns it into a flowering of depth, silence, and beauty that brings gifts no happiness can. By welcoming sadness and happiness alike—without clinging or rejection—you grow through both, transcend duality, and discover an undivided inner harmony.
If you befriend your sadness instead of fighting it, it softens, teaches you deep things, and helps you feel whole.
