What is life?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Life is not a question to be answered, but a mystery to be tasted; embrace each moment with total intensity and let the experience transform you from bitter to sweet."
According to Osho, life isn’t a question to answer but a mystery to taste—here, now. Turn inward in silence and live outwardly with total intensity: dance, sing, love, meditate. Don’t renounce; affirm and squeeze each moment until you throb with aliveness. You will know by experiencing, not explaining; at first it may seem bitter, but wholly lived, it becomes exquisitely sweet.
Life is something you feel by being quiet inside and fully enjoying what you do, not something you can explain with words.
