According to Osho, the luxuriousness of being is the inner richness revealed when the mind falls silent and consciousness is directly known. It is not outer comfort or possessions, but the natural beauty, joy, harmony, music, peace, and eternal silence of your own awareness. This true luxury appears through a simple gestalt shift from outward-looking senses to the inward depth of presence.
It’s the deep peace and happiness you feel inside when you stop chasing things and rest quietly in awareness.
From the Discourses
Passages where Osho speaks to this question — each links to the complete discourse.
become silent, know your own truth and that will be decisive, that will be liberating we are born with the kingdom of truth we bring from the beyond the whole kingdom but of course in a potential form, just as a seed hence it cannot be taken for granted one has to help the seed to fall in the soil one has to water one has to do a thousand and one things so that the seed can relax, can dissolve and the hidden secret can become an actuality truth is our potential but it has to be made actual it is a possibility hence it is not beyond our grasp but one has to look for it a little bit dig for it a little bit -- it is always found whosoever has looked for it has found it without any exception but that little effort is very essential…
We are not the body and we are not the mind either. Mind is also part of the body. The visible part is called body, the invisible part is called mind. It is a psychosomatic mechanism and we are the witness of it. We are in it but we are not it. This is the greatest experience. Once it has happened your life goes through a radical change. Then you are never the same again. It is a breakthrough. The whole effort here is to bring this breakthrough closer and closer. Every support, every technique and device is provided for this breakthrough so that you can see yourself as a witness of it all, as pure consciousness. To know oneself as pure consciousness is to be free of all bondage. It is to be free of birth and death, it is to be free of time.
As you move into meditation this feeling starts becoming stronger every day. That does not mean that you start neglecting the body, on the contrary, you start caring about the body more carefully because it is a beautiful house, a gift of god. You have to keep it clean and beautiful and young and vital, energetic, alive, because you have to live in it for many many years. There is no need to make it ugly, poor, starved. Make it a palace, make it a marble palace, make it a temple, but remember "I am not it," so when it dies you are not dying. The body is born, the body dies; you are never born and you never die. And the method of meditation is very simple: just watching. Three things have to be watched. The first is the body and its actions.
Rosa Luxemburg used to say that a man should live like a torch burning from both ends simultaneously. But that is possible only if you live in the present moment, with no past, with no future -- then you are afire. Your very energy, its intensity, is such that it turns into light. Just as at one hundred degrees water evaporates, there is a certain intensity of inner energies where you and your ego evaporate. And when you are no more, god is, godliness is. [A riddle: What's neither cold nor hot and is when you're not? Why? bliss! said Osho.] We know what is cold and we know what is hot, but we don't know what is cool -- that is not our experience. Our mind moves like a pendulum from the hot to the cold, from the cold to the hot; it never stops in the middle.
You have asked: If one gets a glimpse of bliss, of supreme bliss, what happens next? Naturally, after one glimpse comes another—an even bigger glimpse! But please, do not think about that, otherwise even this glimpse will be missed. You will keep calculating the great glimpse, dreaming of the great glimpse, while life flows by here, time slips out of your hands. If you miss this glimpse, the next will not be available. Drink in this glimpse, assimilate it, digest it. Then a larger glimpse will come.
A busy man becomes busy in thoughts themselves. Naturally he gets flustered: “So many blankets must have piled up! They keep piling, keep piling; a mountain must be touching the sky!”—so he panics, “We are finished, we will go bankrupt. Where will they sell? Who will buy? There aren’t even that many people.” The one turning the rosary is also keeping himself busy. The one chanting “Ram-Ram, Ram-Ram” is also keeping himself busy. The meaning of meditation is a transformation from doing to being—dropping doing and sinking into being. “You ask, what should be done next?” There is no need to do anything. If all questions have fallen, if there is a sure trust, if there is no hunger for answers, no craving—if any questions still remain, ask them, otherwise later they will trouble you; they will keep getting up again and again. Do not be hasty; search well. If…
