What should one do when feeling happy and ecstatic but others are not in a mood to celebrate?

Celebrate the sadness of others while rejoicing inwardly; true harmony lies in flowing with what is, not against it.

— Osho
According to Osho, when you feel ecstatic but others aren't celebrating, don't oppose them—be with them. Celebrate their sadness: outwardly share their mood (even cry), while inwardly rejoicing in the beauty of the moment. Flow with whatever is, never against it; this empathic 'being-with' dissolves ego, harmonizes relationships, and is the religious way to live—like Diogenes, who always flowed with the whole.

Join their mood on the outside, but keep your inner joy and love flowing inside.
