What is the message for elders?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"Honor the body as a temple, but remember that the soul is ageless; in this awareness, the fear of aging and death dissolves, revealing the eternal freshness of life."
According to Osho, elders should remember that only the body and mind grow old; the soul is ageless. Drop identification with the body and the past-bound mind, honor the body as a temple, and connect with the eternal awareness within. Abandon borrowed 'panditry' and secondhand beliefs; seek direct knowing. In this awakening, fear of aging and death dissolves, and life regains freshness beyond labels and memories.
You're not your aging body or old memories; care for the body like a sacred home, drop borrowed ideas, and feel the timeless life inside you.
