Ask Osho!

Why is the importance of the here and now emphasized?

Synthesized from Source definition

"The here and now is all that truly exists; live this moment intensely, for tomorrow never arrives."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the here and now is emphasized because it is all that truly exists—here is the only space, now the only time; tomorrow never arrives. Therefore, don’t let this moment slip by unused: live it intensely, squeeze all its juice, and you won’t need to repent later for having missed your life.
Because only this moment is real; if you wait for later, it never comes, so live and act now.
Why this matters practically
- Breaks procrastination: make choices and take action now.
- Increases joy and presence in everyday tasks and relationships.
- Reduces regret and anxiety by focusing energy on what is here.
