According to Osho, true religion is the art of living, not renouncing: a total yes to life here and now. Denial is atheism because life itself is divine. The religious person learns to dance whatever the courtyard—cultivating skill, courage, and celebration—rather than escaping. When spirituality affirms existence, healthy, intelligent people flower, and ordinary acts become meditation, creativity, and love.
Religion means learning to live joyfully and skillfully in this life, not running away from it.
