Osho on What is important?

What is important?

“

What truly matters is not the importance of things, but the totality with which you live them; embrace each moment with complete presence, whether you choose to see everything as divine or nothing as significant.

Core Insight:
According to Osho, ‘importance’ isn’t in things themselves—it depends on you. You can hold that everything is important (all is divine) or that nothing is important (nothing to fuss about); both free you when lived totally. What truly matters is totality: eat, drink, sleep, and love with complete presence. Choose the yes or no that matches your nature and live it wholly.
Everything can matter or nothing has to—pick what fits you, and do whatever you do with your whole heart.
Why this matters practically
- Reduces stress by dropping constant judgments about what’s “important.”
- Brings calm and joy by doing ordinary tasks with full presence.
- Aligns life with your temperament (yes/no) and builds consistency and peace.
